Gastroesophageal Variceal Hemorrhage
New England Journal of Medicine, 2001Gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage, a major complication of portal hypertension resulting from cirrhosis, accounts for 10 to 30 percent of all cases of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract.1 Variceal hemorrhage occurs in 25 to 35 percent of patients with cirrhosis and accounts for 80 to 90 percent of bleeding episodes in these patients.2–4 ...

Reducing morbidity and mortality from esophageal varices remains a challenge for physicians managing patients with chronic liver disease. For patients who have never bled from varices, prophylactic therapy with nonselective beta-blockers reduces the risk of initial variceal bleeding and bleeding-related death.

Variceal bleeding is a frequent and life-threatening complication of portal hypertension. The first episode of variceal bleeding is associated not only with a high mortality, but also with a high recurrence rate in those who survive. Therefore, management should focus on different therapeutic strategies aiming to prevent the first episode of variceal ...

Octreotide Therapy for Variceal Hemorrhage
Digestion, 2009Somatostatin and its analogue, octreotide, produce dramatic decreases in splanchnic arterial blood flow and portal venous pressure while preserving cardiac output and systemic blood pressure. A limited number of prospective randomized clinical trials of somatostatin and octreotide have noted superiority to placebo and equivalence to vasopressin in ...

Figure 2 is the algorithm followed in our institution for management of acute variceal hemorrhage. A small percentage of patients who present with active variceal hemorrhage will stop bleeding after gastric lavage alone. However, most patients require an intravenous vasopressin infusion at a dose of 0.4 units per minute, preferably combined with ...
