5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Gastric varices occur in 5-33% of patients with portal hypertension. Concomitant gastro esophageal varices are the most common type. Both endoscopic sclerotherapy and band ligation are very effective in controlling acute esophageal varices bleeding and preventing rebleeding.
Detailed Description
Evaluation of a new scleroligation technique for management of bleeding gastro-esophageal varices regarding efficacy, complications, variceal recurrence, and survival.
