“…Splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein has been used in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis since the 1960s in Brazil, becoming widespread in the 1990s. 17 In our sample, patients underwent splenectomy in external services. Based on clinical and surgical data, year of fulfillment, and place the surgery was performed, it was possible to infer that two (cases 4 and 7) of the four patients in our sample underwent ligation of the left gastric vein.…”

“…The preferred surgery performed in most groups that deal with presinusoidal portal hypertension 2 3 4 10 , EGDS has the advantage of not triggering postoperative encephalopathy 16 , significant complication after porto-systemic shunts. The major drawback of EGDS is rebleedling that was significantly decreased since the endoscopic treatment (sclerotherapy) was introduced as a routine during follow-up 1 5 19 20 . However, there are few studies that evaluate the long-term results for these patients.…”

“…Studies have shown that gastrointestinal bleeding due to rupture of esophageal varices occur in 40% ¹ and it is the most threat to survival in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis ²¹ with a mortality rate of 11.7% in the first episode of bleeding 12 . The importance of this disease regarding public health was demonstrated by a survey from the Ministry of Health between 1998 and 2009 that showed an annual mortality rate estimated to be between 0.2 and 0.34 deaths per 100.000 inhabitants ²³ .…”

Vein ligation under endoscopy and injection sclerotherapy are the preferred hemostasis methods, and bleeding control rates are 89.7 and 87.5 %, respectively [ 2 , 3 ]. A switch to decompressive shunt procedures is mandatory if endoscopic therapy fails to control recurrent variceal hemorrhage [ 4 ].…”
