| Core Tip |
Control of acute bleeding is crucial in patients with portal hypertension and actively bleeding esophageal varices. The present study demonstrated that endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was highly effective in controlling acute variceal bleeding during the first endoscopic intervention in 95.7% of 140 patients bleed with an overall 5-d failure to control bleeding of 7.1%. Although repeated EVL achieved complete variceal eradication in less than half of patients with bleeding esophageal varices (BEV), of which 62% recurred, there was a significant reduction in subsequent rebleeding. EVL was effective and safe with a low complication rate in treating BEV. |
