She suffered from esophagealvarix bleeding due to chemotherapy-associated liver cirrhosis.
1
Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the markers best correlated with oesophagealvarices.
2
The principal treatment for bleeding oesophagealvarices is endoscopic ligation.
3
The diagnostic accuracy for medium to large oesophagealvarices 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 oesophagealvarices.
5
The conclusion was drawn that the results of endoscopic sclerotherapy of bleeding oesophagealvarices was effective and clearly related to liver function.
1
Portal vein invasion is a risk factor for subsequent varicealbleed.
2
Thirty-eight patients died during follow-up, and 16 had a varicealbleed.
3
Patients with poor hepatic function are at higher risk of re-bleeding and death after acute gastric varicealbleed.
4
The four rebleeding episodes consisted of an esophageal varicealbleed, a gastric varicealbleed, a duodenal ulcer bleed, and a bleed caused by hemorrhagic gastritis.
5
Recurrent varicealbleeding is common and is associated with a high mortality.
1
Shunt therapy, preferably the placement of a TIPS, is indicated for refractory acutevaricealbleeding.
2
Of 55 children with acutevaricealbleeding, 39 had band ligation and 16 had injection sclerotherapy.
1
Its efficacy for the treatment of bleedingesophagealvarices is less certain, and more controlled studies are necessary.
2
Management of variceal hemorrhage includes emergency treatment of bleedingesophagealvarices and prophylactic treatment for the prevention of first bleeding or rebleeding.
3
Fifty-three patients with bleedingesophagealvarices received a non-shunting operation-esophagealtransection and devascularization of the proximal stomach with splenectomy-fromMarch 1977 to October 1986.
4
Bleedingesophagealvarices, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatic encephalopathy are major complications of cirrhosis and traditional indications for liver transplantation evaluation.
1
The principal treatment for bleedingoesophagealvarices is endoscopic ligation.
2
The conclusion was drawn that the results of endoscopic sclerotherapy of bleedingoesophagealvarices was effective and clearly related to liver function.
3
Conclusions: Emergency injection of acrylate glue is safe and effective for the treatment of acute bleedingoesophagealvarices and does not hamper subsequent variceal ligation.

1
Fifteen variables were analysed to identify the presence of large esophagealvarices.
2
One hundred and fifteen patients with cirrhosis and esophagealvarices were studied.
3
Every third patient with parenchymal liver disease bleeds from esophagealvarices.
4
Sclerotherapy was repeated to eradicate esophagealvarices and follow-up endoscopic examination were performed.
5
Endoscopy showed large esophagealvarices that were treated with band ligation.
6
Methods: Fifteen patients with cirrhosis and esophagealvarices were included in this prospective study.
7
Patients without all three factors had no large esophagealvarices.
8
The serum HA level decreased in the nine treated patients without worsening of esophagealvarices.
9
However, it remains unclear whether vasopressin is able to selectively reduce esophagealvarices blood flow.
10
Ninety-four percent had severe chronic hepatic schistosomiasis and 80% esophagealvarices.
11
Conclusion: Lamivudine treatment for patients with cirrhosis improves not only liver function but also esophagealvarices.
12
We quickly came to the realization that the esophagealvarices were secondary to end-stage liver disease.
13
Conclusions: These data support the view that vasopressin is able to selectively reduce esophagealvarices blood flow.
14
Methodology: Thirty-six cirrhotic patients with esophagealvarices were enrolled in this study and classified into two groups.
15
We investigated the influence of extravariceal collateral channel pattern on the recurrence of esophagealvarices after sclerotherapy.
16
Its efficacy for the treatment of bleeding esophagealvarices is less certain, and more controlled studies are necessary.
