Endoscopic band ligation versus propranolol for the primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients with high risk esophageal varices.
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is a common complication of portal hypertension. Current guidelines recommend thorn-blockers for primary prophylaxis. However, evidence suggests that endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) reduce bleeding episodes. AIMS To compare endoscopic EVL with propranolol (PPL) for primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding. METHODS We conducted a randomized co...
متن کاملProspective study of bacteremia rate after elective band ligation and sclerotherapy with cyanoacrylate for esophageal varices in patients with advanced liver disease.
CONTEXT Band ligation (BL) is the most appropriate endoscopic treatment for acute bleeding or prophylaxis of esophageal variceal bleeding. Sclerotherapy with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (CY) can be an alternative for patients with advanced liver disease. Bacteremia is an infrequent complication after BL while the bacteremia rate following treatment with CY for esophageal varices remains unknown. ...
متن کاملBand ligation vs endoscopic sclerotherapy in esophageal varices: a prospective randomized comparison.
OBJECTIVE A prospective randomized trial was conducted to compare efficacy, safety and complications of band ligation (BL) with sclerotherapy (Scl). METHODS Patients with esophageal variceal bleeding were randomized into two study groups. BL (group A) was done in 28 patients whereas 30 patients (group B) had Scl. After initial treatment, follow-up sessions were repeated by the same method eve...
متن کاملChanges in Cardiac Varices and Their Clinical Significance after Eradication of Esophageal Varices by Band Ligation
Background and Aims. Cardiac varices (CVs) in patients with type 1 gastroesophageal varices (GOV1s) usually disappear with treatment for esophageal varices (EVs) by endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS). However, whether this applies to patients treated with endoscopic band ligation (EBL) for EVs remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of EVs eradication by EBL on CVs. Methods. We included ...
متن کامل[Noninvasive diagnosis of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients].
INTRODUCTION Variceal bleeding is a frequent and serious complication of cirrhosis. Early detection of varices by videogastroscope (VGC) is recommended in all patients with cirrhosis to determine the need for prophylactic treatment. Have been described noninvasive markers of the presence of esophageal varices, which could prevent the realization of VGC for that purpose. OBJECTIVE To determine...
