摘要
Bleeding varices are a major complication of portal hypertension and cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. The main goals of therapy for variceal bleeding are (1) prevention of the initial bleeding episode; (2) control of acute hemorrhage, and (3) prevention of recurrent variceal bleeding. The risk of rebleeding after initial control of variceal hemorrhage may be as high as 80%. Therefore, prevention of rebleeding should be considered as soon as initial control of bleeding.
