Delayed Argon Plasma Coagulation After Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Esophageal Varices Reduces Recurrence Risk

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is commonly used as consolidation therapy after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) for esophageal varices (EVs); however, the optimal timing of APC remains unclear. This study evaluated the association between the EIS–APC interval and clinical outcomes.

Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy With Pre‐deflation Ligation for Prolonged Sclerosant Retention in Esophageal Varices: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Esophageal varices are a common complication of portal hypertension, and prophylactic endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation (EISL) is an established treatment option. Effective variceal thrombosis requires sufficient intravariceal retention of the sclerosant, because ethanolamine oleate exerts its thrombogenic effect through ...

Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin Reduces the Need for Platelet Transfusion in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease and Thrombocytopenia

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 10, Page 2571-2580, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic liver disease (CLD)‐related thrombocytopenia can limit the feasibility of invasive procedures. Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) has demonstrated a favorable safety profile without hepatotoxicity. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of rhTPO in patients with CLD‐related thrombocytopenia who were undergoing elective invasive ...
