Core Tip |
Failure to control bleeding in high-risk patients with variceal haemorrhage is still common, and not all patients are suitable for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts. Self-expanding metal stents can be placed without the need for endoscopic or fluoroscopic control and, once in place, provide effective haemostasis and allow a route for oral fluids and nutrition. They can remain in place whilst liver function recovers and secondary prophylaxis is initiated or whilst definitive therapy is provided. Self-expanding metal stents provide effective haemostasis and perform better than balloon tamponade in refractory bleeding, where they are associated with fewer complications. |
