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

Active bleeding varices are a great challenge to endoscopists. In this study, we compared the short-term efficacy and safety of banding ligation with injection sclerotherapy in the arresting of active bleeding from esophageal varices. Seventy-one cirrhotic patients with active variceal bleeding were

Current therapy for preventing the first variceal bleed includes beta-blocker and variceal band ligation (VBL). VBL has lower bleeding rates, with no differences in survival, whereas beta-blocker therapy can be limited by side effects. Carvedilol, a non-cardioselective vasodilating beta-blocker, is
