Abstract:
Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment for cirrhotic portal hypertension, especially for the patients with end-stage liver failure. In the era of liver transplantation, when drugs, endoscopy and interventional treatments fail, surgery (not including liver transplantation) is an irreplaceable treatment option for esophagogastric variceal bleeding, which should be individualized, in order not to increase the risk and difficulty of liver transplantation in the future.
