Dislodgement of variceal bands after esophageal balloon tamponade for variceal bleeding.
A 43-year-old male with alcoholic cirrhosis underwent EGD for hematemesis which revealed bleeding, grade II, lower esophageal varices that were endoscopically ligated with 6 bands. All the bands remained attached to varices at the completion of EGD. Despite apparent initial hemostasis, balloon tamponade was performed one hour later for suspected continued bleeding. Due to suspected continuing b...

Approximately 90% of patients with cirrhosis will have developed gastro-oesophageal varices within 10 yr. Oesophageal variceal haemorrhage is a devastating complication of cirrhosis with mortality as high as 25–50%. Therefore, prophylactic measures before the first bleed are crucial. If patients survive a variceal bleed, there is approximately a 70% risk that they will have a further bleed with...
متن کاملEsophageal variceal ligation for hemostasis of acute variceal bleeding: efficacy and safety
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic variceal ligation is widely accepted as the optimum endoscopic treatment for esophageal variceal hemorrhage. In Morocco, there are no data regarding the efficacy of this technique. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic variceal ligation in the management of oesophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhosis in a located population in Morocco. METHO...
