Endoscopic hemostasis in acute esophageal variceal bleeding.
Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a milestone event for patients with portal hypertension. Esophageal varices bleed because of an increase in portal pressure that causes the variceal wall to rupture. AVB in a patient with cirrhosis and portal hypertension is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The initial management of these patients includes proper resuscitation, antibiotic pro...

Various methods are available and the evidence is reviewed as to the most optimal approach. Clinical parameters including timing of endoscopy, risk stratification, and predictors of...
متن کاملThe effects of emergent endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy combined with acrylate glue injection on esophageal variceal bleeding
Background: To evaluate the hemostatic effects of emergent Eendoscopic Variceal Sclerotherapy (EIS) combined with acrylate glue (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, NBCA) injection (ESCI) on esophageal variceal bleeding, and to investigate glue extrusion after endoscopic injection. Methods: The rate of hemostasis and blood transfusion in patients that received ESCI were compared to 16 patients who receive...
متن کاملEmergency endoscopic variceal ligation versus somatostatin for acute esophageal variceal bleeding.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic variceal ligation and somatostatin are widely used for treating acute esophageal variceal bleeding. This study compared the efficacy, safety, and survival of both therapies. METHODS Acute esophageal variceal bleeding patients were randomized to undergo emergency ligation or receive a bolus of 250 microg somatostatin plus infusion at 250 microg/hour for 48 hours and under...
متن کاملEndoscopic treatment versus endoscopic plus pharmacologic treatment for acute variceal bleeding: a meta-analysis.
Endoscopic therapy, involving either injection sclerosis or band ligation, is considered the intervention of first choice for acute variceal bleeding (AVB). Pharmacologic agents have also been shown to be highly effective in the control of the bleeding episode. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess whether vasoactive drugs may improve the efficacy of endoscopic therapy (injection scle...
