Endoscopic methods for treating and preventing bleedings in patients with varicose veins of oesophagus and stomach
Abstract
The paper summarises 12-year experience of performing 265 sessions of endoscopic ligation of varicose veins of oesophagus and stomach to 198 patients suffering from liver cirrhosis, and point out high efficiency of this method to prevent primary bleedings and, combined with sclerotherapy, to prevent recurrent bleedings. In case of ligation procedure, there were early post-operative complications in 2.6 % of cases, and 1.6 % - in case of sclerotherapy procedure. Two patients died because of recurrent bleeding during the follow-up period.
