Endoscopic sclerotherapy using Histoacryl Blau effectively stops acute bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices, improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality. This advanced technique eliminates varices within weeks, allowing patients with portal hypertension to live without the risk of re-bleeding.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic interventions
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Bleeding esophageal and gastric varices pose a significant risk to patients with portal hypertension.
  • Traditional treatments for variceal bleeding have limitations and associated risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sclerotherapy with Histoacryl Blau for managing acute variceal bleeding.
  • To assess the long-term outcomes of variceal eradication using this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Over 12 years, patients with acute variceal bleeding were treated with endoscopic sclerotherapy using Histoacryl Blau.
  • An aggressive sclerotherapy technique was employed during bleeding-free intervals for variceal eradication.
  • Intra- and peri-variceal injections were utilized to promote vein eradication and esophageal wall fibrosis.

Main Results:

  • Acute variceal bleeding was reliably and definitively stopped in all patients, regardless of liver status.
  • Mortality from acute variceal bleeding significantly decreased, with no deaths reported in the last 5 years.
  • Varices of all grades were effectively eliminated within an average of 3 sessions (3-4 weeks), with fibrosis achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic sclerotherapy with Histoacryl Blau is a highly effective treatment for acute variceal bleeding, obviating the need for emergency procedures.
  • This technique allows for complete variceal eradication and improved quality of life for patients with portal hypertension.
  • Careful technique and follow-up ensure long-term management of varices without the danger of re-bleeding.
