“…While both endoscopic therapies and medications are used to control bleeding and rebleeding episodes, the endoscopic approach has the additional goal of obliterating the varix. 3 Since rebleeding episodes are common as long as the varix is present, endoscopic and medication therapies cannot be considered interchangeable based on bleeding control alone. Nevertheless, because medications are available that can be started quickly, have a relatively rapid onset of action, and do not require someone with endoscopy training to initiate, they have a potential role in the treatment of patients with variceal bleeding.…”

Paralelamente, observa-se que a mortalidade do paciente com sangramento é de 30% a 50% dos casos, ou seja, maior do que três vezes aquela por sangramento digestivo de outra causa (6,15,29,30) . Em decorrência da freqüência da hemorragia digestiva alta (HDA) por ruptura de VGE e do mau prognóstico que a…”

“…Estudos randomizados mostraram que a somatostatina e seu análogo sintético -o octreotide -são mais eficazes que a vasopressina (8,15,29) e têm eficácia semelhante à terlipressina (18,31,39,42) , ao balão de Sengstaken-Blakemore (1,25) e à escleroterapia (17,26,27,32,34,36,40) no controle do sangramento agudo por varizes esofágicas, tendo como principal mérito o fato de seus efeitos colaterais, quando presentes, serem discretos (12) .…”
