Esophageal and Gastric Varices*

Two cases of bleeding by rupture of esophageal varices due to portal hypertension treated by sect-anastomosis by using EEA with good result was presented. With the simplicity of technique, the author hopes that technique will be applied to the severe condition of the patients.

52 patients (46 males, 6 females) with esophageal varices bleeding, age from 19-84 years, who were treated at the Central Military hospital 108 from September 2002 to September 2003. The level of breakdown via endoscopy and the number of esophageal varices breakdown on 52 patients included: 5 cases with mild level, 13 cases with average and 34 cases with severe level; 7 patients at grade II, 45 grade III; 59.6% of patients in the first time of bleeding, 21.6% secondly and 19.2% ≥3 times. Treatment results: 71.2% patients had a complete hemostasis; recurrent rate was 57.7%, in which the rate was 9.6% during first month. For 2 years of followed up, mortality rates one month and 2 years after were 13.3% of 57.7%, respectively. The results indicated that the endoscopic varices ligation have good effectiveness in urgent hemostatic cases but ineffectiveness in long-term outcome.

The efficacy of injection sclerotherapy for treatment of acute esophageal variceal bleeding is well established. But several complications of endoscopic sclerotherapy have been reported. One of the complications is mesenteric venous thrombosis which develops when vasopressin is user for the sclerotherapy. We report a case of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis with developed after endoscopic sclerotherapy for control of esophageal variceal bleeding.

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotic patients is a serious emergency which is associated with high mortality. Cirrhotic patients commonly have, in additian to esophageal varices, other upper gastrointestinal lesions which accont for occasional bleeding episodes. Since the theapy of bleeding esophageal varices differs from the treatment of nonvariceal bleeding, delay and inaccuracy in determining the source of bleeding contribute ta high mortality.

Objectives: Endoscopic variceal ligation is well established metbod of treatment for esophageal varices whereas for gastric varices there has not been any systematic report of its use as a method of treatment. To evaluated its possible clinical application, the band ligation(banding) and the method of band ligation in conjuction with submucosal ethanolamine injection(banding with sclero) were tested on canine stomach, and results were assessed.
