Abstract:
The role of injection therapies in the management of esophageal and gastric varices are reviewed. Available radiographic, pharmacologic and alternative endoscopic methods are compared and contrasted with sclerotherapy. Recent studies regarding a combination of endoscopic band ligation and low volume sclerotherapy to achieve best eradication of esophageal varices are reviewed.
