Abstract:
Esophageal variceal bleeding is a serious complication of liver cirrhosis. Endoscopic therapy is a main method for the prevention and treatment of esophageal variceal bleeding, which includes endoscopic variceal ligation, sclerosing agent injection, endoscopic ultrasound-guided injection of sclerosing agent, tissue adhesive injection, self-expandable covered metallic stent, and combination treatment. This article reviews the indications, clinical effect, and complications of these endoscopic therapies.
