Here we present the case of an 11-year-old female patient diagnosed with Caroli syndrome, who had refractory esophageal varices. The patient had a history of recurrent bleeding from esophageal varices, which was treated with endoscopic variceal ligation thrice over a period of 2 years. However, the
A double-blind, multicenter trial was carried out to assess the effectiveness of isosorbide-5-mononitrate in preventing recurrent variceal hemorrhage during the course of endoscopic sclerotherapy. Seventy-six patients with their first bleeding episode from esophageal varices were randomly allocated,
Nonselective beta-blockers are very effective in preventing first variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis. Treatment with isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-MN) plus propranolol achieves a greater reduction in portal pressure than propranolol alone. The present multicenter, prospective, double-blind,

Forty-six sclerotherapy sessions were performed on liver cirrhotics with high-risk esophageal varices using GT XIII, a sclerosant composed of gelatin, thrombin and coagulation factor XIII. GT XIII was effective for the prevention of temporary symptoms and transient hypotension observed in 55
