Successful Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy of High-Risk Gastroesophageal Varices in a Cirrhotic Patient with Hemophilia A
A 68-year-old man with hemophilia A and liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C virus was referred to our hospital to receive prophylactic endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices (GOV). He had large, tense, and winding esophageal varices (EV) with cherry red spots extending down to lesser curve, predicting the likelihood of bleeding. Esophageal endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) w...
متن کاملFactors affecting successful endoscopic sclerotherapy for oesophageal varices.
Forty patients with bleeding oesophageal varices were studied during treatment by endoscopic sclerotherapy to discover what factors determine successful outcome. Large varices required more injections than small varices for obliteration, and rebleeding during treatment occurred only in patients with large varices. Radiological studies with sclerosant contrast mixture showed that in two groups o...
متن کاملEndoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy in Patients With Bleeding Esophageal Varices: A Retrospective Analysis

To evaluate the efficiency of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy in patients with bleeding esophageal varices, we did a retrospective study of 52 patients (non-sclerotherapy group) with bleeding esophageal varices who were admitted to hospitals and did not receive sclerotherapy...
متن کاملGastroesophageal reflux in cirrhotic patients with esophageal varices without endoscopic treatment.
BACKGROUND Portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis causes manifestations such as esophageal varices, ascites and edema. Some studies have been conducted about the role of esophageal varices in the development of esophageal motor disorders and abnormal gastroesophageal reflux in these patients. Ascites could be a factor promoting gastroesophageal reflux and it has been questioned wh...
متن کاملA New Method of Endoscopic Variceal Ligation-Injection Sclerotherapy (EVLIS) for Gastric Varices
OBJECTIVES For esophageal varices, endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy and band ligation have been effectively and frequently used, but these methods were not effective for gastric varices. In gastric varices, because of rich networks of feeding vessels and shunts that may exist in many cases, an effective therapeutic level of sclerosant is difficult to be maintained. Accordingly, we propose a ne...
