Vasopressin infusion and esophageal tamponade are still widely used to arrest variceal bleeding, but no objective evidence exists on the superiority of either of the two procedures. In this study, 108 cirrhotic patients bleeding from varices were included in a prospective, randomized trial to invest

In a randomized controlled trial, the effect of continuous intravenous administration of vasopressin was compared with Sengstaken-Blakemore balloon tamponade in 3 7 episodes of bleeding esophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis. The majority were Group A and B of Child's classification. Bleeding
We undertook a multicenter randomized trial to compare the efficacy of terlipressin combined with transdermal nitroglycerin and that of octreotide in the emergency control of acute variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis. Over 16 mo, 87 patients with endoscopically proved active bleeding from esophageal or
Thirty-nine patients admitted during a 16-month period for acute bleeding from varices confirmed by emergency endoscopy were randomized to receive either continuous intravenous infusions of vasopressin alone (0.66 units per min) (Group I: 19 patients) or vasopressin plus sublingual nitroglycerin (0.
