“…Differences in the depth of the tissue injury caused by ligation and sclerotherapy are not unexpected. While the maximum volume of tissue that can be ligated is consistent and limited by the volume of the ligating chamber of the ligation device, many (often unpredictable) procedural variables affect sclerotherapy ± for example, the type and volume of the sclerosing solution injected, variability in tissue planes, the length of the needle used for the injection, and even if the patient coughs or gags during the injection, pushing the needle even deeper [6].…”

“…Controlled trials have shown that ligation is superior to sclerotherapy in measures of efficacy, including improved survival [2], and is associated with fewer complications [2 ± 4]. Ligation is therefore considered to be the treatment of choice for esophageal variceal bleeding [5,6].…”

“…Bei Patienten mit aktiver Varizenblutung ist EVL fu Èr die Ha Èmostase gleich effektiv wie EVS [8,11,21]. Einschra Ènkend muû aber bemerkt werden, daû die EVLMethode bei akuter Blutung technisch schwieriger durchzufu Èhren ist als die Sklerosierungstherapie, da durch den Ligaturzylinder das Sichtfeld um 30 % einschra Ènkt ist und das selektive Absaugen von Blut erschwert wird [10,17]. Die Kombination beider Methoden in einer Untersuchung, aber auch in aufeinanderfolgenden Untersuchungen, ist mo Èglich.…”

“…Ûber a Èhn-lich gute Ergebnisse bei der prophylaktischen EVL von ÚSV wird berichtet [2]. Die guten, komplikationslos erzielten Ergebnisse der prophylaktischen Therapie von ho È-hergradigen ÚSV mit EVL sollten vor dem Hintergrund, daû bei Kindern mit erster ÚSV-Blutung eine Todesrate von 5±9 % bei Portalvenenobstruktion und eine noch ho È-here Morbidita Èt und Mortalita Èt bei Leberzirrhose assoziiert ist [17], Anlaû sein, diese Indikation neu zu u Èberden-ken.…”

“…Banding is made difficult by limited visualization due to the size of the device and obscured vision by bleeding and/or clots. Recurrence rates are 30-48% [16,17]. Definitive management strategies for patients who fail medical or endoscopic treatment include TIPS and surgical shunts.…”
