“…Although the superiority of EVL over EIS for the secondary prophylaxis of variceal hemorrhage has been proven based on moderate-certainty evidence ( 11 ), the better emergency endoscopic treatment for acute EVB remains controversial. Lo GH, et al compared the short-term efficacy and safety of emergency EIS with EVL in the arresting of acute EVB.…”

“…Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) and endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) are favored non-surgical treatment strategies of endoscopy for managing acute EVB ( 7 – 10 ). A newly published meta-analysis has demonstrated the superiority of EVL over EIS in terms of fewer adverse events ( 11 ). Several trials comparing long-term EIS to EVL gave separate data for EVB, however, failing to show any differences between the two ( 12 , 13 ).…”

Background and AimsEmergency endoscopy is recommended for patients with acute esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) and their prognosis has improved markedly over past decades due to the increased specialization of endoscopic practice. The study aimed to compare outcomes following emergency endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) and endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in cirrhotic patients with acute EVB.MethodsCirrhotic patients with acute EVB who underwent emergency endoscopy were retrospectively enrolled from 2013 to 2020 across 34 university hospitals from 30 cities. The primary outcome was the incidence of 5-day rebleeding after emergency endoscopy. Subgroup analysis was stratified by Child-Pugh class and bleeding history. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed.ResultsA total of 1,017 and 382 patients were included in EIS group and EVL group, respectively. The 5-day rebleeding incidence was similar between EIS group and EVL group (4% vs. 5%, P = 0.45). The result remained the same after PSM (P = 1.00). Among Child-Pugh class A, B and C patients, there were no differences in the 5-day rebleeding incidence between the two groups after PSM (P = 0.25, 0.82, and 0.21, respectively). As for the patients with or without bleeding history, the differences between EIS group and EVL group were not significant after PSM (P = 1.00 and 0.26, respectively).ConclusionThe nationwide cohort study indicates that EIS and EVL are both efficient emergency endoscopic treatment strategies for acute EVB. EIS should not be dismissed as an economical and effective emergency endoscopic treatment strategy of acute EVB. ClincialTrials.gov number NCT04307264.

“…Ainda à nível de tratamento, ficou claro que os procedimentos cirúrgicos são recomendados num plano terciário, sendo mais utilizadas em casos específicos em que haja indicação, priorizando os tratamentos conservadores prezando assim pela qualidade de vida de cada paciente, corroborando com (Roberts, 2021).…”

A prevalência de varizes esofágicas tem aumentado no Brasil ao decorrer dos anos, e alguns aspectos epidemiológicos mantém relação com esse fato, impactando na modalidade cirúrgica de seu tratamento. Objetivo: O estudo objetivou determinar quais aspectos epidemiológicos e seus impactos sobre o tratamento cirúrgico de varizes esofágicas, além da sua relação com a quantidade de internações e óbitos. Justificativa: Devido a essa patologia ser em grande parte atendido como caráter de urgência, evitar e diminuir o sangramento das varizes esofágicas com os procedimentos cirúrgicos envolvidos são importantes na sobrevida do paciente. Dessa forma, o presente estudo traz uma necessidade de maior compreensão sobre o tema, uma vez que, há uma carência de informações mais recentes e de estudos acadêmicos mais atualizados relacionados ao assunto. Resultados: a quantidade de casos durante o período de 2016-2020 aumentou, ficando evidente o aumento no número de internações, durante esse mesmo período segundo o estudo realizado o caráter mais prevalente de atendimento nesses casos foi o de urgência representando boa parte dos casos, os resultados também demonstraram que a taxa de mortalidade vem caindo com o passar dos anos. Conclusão: em virtude do apresentado o perfil epidemiológico encontrado como prevalente é masculino, pardo, idade acima de 60 anos e escolaridade menor que 7 anos. Além disso, é possível concluir que apesar de existirem diversos tratamentos para varizes esofágicas, os procedimentos cirúrgicos têm papel de destaque nos pacientes que apresentaram falha terapêutica em tratamentos mais conservadores.
