1
She suffered from esophageal varix bleeding due to chemotherapy-associated liver cirrhosis.
1
Fifteen variables were analysed to identify the presence of large esophageal varices.
2
One hundred and fifteen patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices were studied.
3
Every third patient with parenchymal liver disease bleeds from esophageal varices.
4
Sclerotherapy was repeated to eradicate esophageal varices and follow-up endoscopic examination were performed.
5
Endoscopy showed large esophageal varices that were treated with band ligation.
1
Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the markers best correlated with oesophageal varices.
2
The principal treatment for bleeding oesophageal varices is endoscopic ligation.
3
The diagnostic accuracy for medium to large oesophageal varices using these three factors was 86%.
4
We were unable to find any factors differentiating bleeders from non-bleeders, although these results do not justify prophylactic surgery for oesophageal varices.
5
The conclusion was drawn that the results of endoscopic sclerotherapy of bleeding oesophageal varices was effective and clearly related to liver function.
1
Portal vein invasion is a risk factor for subsequent variceal bleed.
2
Thirty-eight patients died during follow-up, and 16 had a variceal bleed.
3
Patients with poor hepatic function are at higher risk of re-bleeding and death after acute gastric variceal bleed.
4
The four rebleeding episodes consisted of an esophageal variceal bleed, a gastric variceal bleed, a duodenal ulcer bleed, and a bleed caused by hemorrhagic gastritis.
5
Recurrent variceal bleeding is common and is associated with a high mortality.
1
Shunt therapy, preferably the placement of a TIPS, is indicated for refractory acute variceal bleeding.
2
Of 55 children with acute variceal bleeding, 39 had band ligation and 16 had injection sclerotherapy.
1
The principal treatment for bleeding oesophageal varices is endoscopic ligation.
2
The conclusion was drawn that the results of endoscopic sclerotherapy of bleeding oesophageal varices was effective and clearly related to liver function.
3
Conclusions: Emergency injection of acrylate glue is safe and effective for the treatment of acute bleeding oesophageal varices and does not hamper subsequent variceal ligation.
1
Its efficacy for the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices is less certain, and more controlled studies are necessary.
2
Management of variceal hemorrhage includes emergency treatment of bleeding esophageal varices and prophylactic treatment for the prevention of first bleeding or rebleeding.
3
Fifty-three patients with bleeding esophageal varices received a non-shunting operation-esophagealtransection and devascularization of the proximal stomach with splenectomy-fromMarch 1977 to October 1986.
4
Bleeding esophageal varices, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatic encephalopathy are major complications of cirrhosis and traditional indications for liver transplantation evaluation.
