Managing varices: drugs, bands, and shunts
Gastroenterol Clin North Am.
2011 Sep.
Abstract
Drugs, bands, and shunts have all been used in the treatment of varices and variceal hemorrhage and have resulted in improved outcomes. However, the specific use of each of these therapies depends on the setting (primary or secondary prophylaxis, treatment of AVH) and on patient characteristics. The indications for each are summarized in Table 4.
