The results of a prospective, randomized controlled trial of chronic esophageal variceal sclerotherapy conducted over a 38-month period are presented. One-hundred twenty patients were randomized following variceal bleeding, 63 to esophageal variceal sclerotherapy and 57 to control. Mean follow-up wa
We conducted a prospective, randomized trial comparing sclerotherapy and ligation in 120 patients with acute bleeding of esophageal varices. AU the patients were cirrhotic, 59 received sclerotherapy, and 61 received ligation. "reatment was repeated regularly until the varices were obliterated. The m
Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is a new technique designed to manage esophageal varices. The effect of sclerotherapy following repeated banding ligation remains unknown. Seventy-two patients with a history of esophageal variceal bleeding received regular EVL until variceal disappearance or until
Progression of gastric variceal hemorrhage (GVH) is poorer than esophageal variceal bleeding. However, data on its optimal treatment are limited. We designed a prospective study to compare the efficacy of endoscopic band ligation (GVL) and endoscopic N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injection (GVO). Liver pa
Somatostatin and endoscopic sclerotherapy are widely used in the treatment of acute variceal bleeding. Although objective evidence does exist about the advantages of either treatment, data comparing both procedures are scarce. In order to compare the effectiveness and safety of somatostatin and scle
