The treatment of acute variceal bleeding
J Clin Gastroenterol.
2007 Nov-Dec.
Abstract
Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices is a frequent and often deadly complication of cirrhosis. Although mortality from an episode of variceal bleeding has decreased in the last 2 decades it is still around 20%. This paper reviews the most recent advancements in the general management and hemostatic treatments of acute variceal bleeding.
