Endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST) is the injection of a sclerosant into the bleeding varices to produce variceal thrombosis and obliteration. From: Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2003

Endoscopic sclerotherapy, a well-established treatment for bleeding GI varices, accomplishes vascular obliteration by injection of a sclerosing agent.

Endoscopic variceal ligation is the treatment of choice for both controlling esophageal variceal hemorrhage and secondary prophy-laxis.

We selected 104 patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage from rupture of esophageal varices treated with endoscopic sclerotherapy. The sclerosing agent used was 1% polidocanol in 89 cases, butyl-cyanoacrylate in 8 cases and sodium tetra-decylsulfate in 4 cases.

2023年12月16日 · Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves the injection of a special solution into the veins to seal them off. This forces blood to reroute itself to healthier veins.

Endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST) is performed by injection of a sclerosant into varices that produce variceal thrombosis and obliteration. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is performed by placing an elastic O ring around the neck of a varix and subsequently causing strangulation of the vein.

Endoscopic therapies for varices aim to reduce variceal wall tension by obliteration of the varix. The two principal methods available for esophageal varices are endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST) and band ligation (EBL).

2024年1月11日 · Sclerotherapy is a group of techniques characterized by the injection of an irritating substance into a blood vessel to damage the vessel endothelium, induce inflammation with subsequent endofibrosis, and destroy the vessel.

1990年4月1日 · The primary treatment for active variceal bleeding is emergency endoscopic sclerotherapy, which should be performed at the time of the first diagnostic endoscopy using a flexible endoscope. The primary treatment of choice for patients after a variceal bleed is sclerotherapy, which should be repeated until all esophageal varices are eradicated.
