“…The use of histocryl is usually not required for esophageal varices and is instead reserved for fundal varices (11,12). Although detachable endoscopic snares have been used in esophageal and fundal varices, they are also not usually required (13,14). There are a number of different multibanders available; all function with the same principle.…”

“…Gastric varices are usually large, and positioning the snare around the gastric varices is often difficult. With modification, the detachable minisnare can be used for the treatment of esophageal varices [24]. This method of variceal ligation has the advantages of obviating the use of an overtube, producing a clear endoscopic image, and offering an unlimited number of ligations.…”

Mortality due to variceal bleeding secondary to portal hypertension has decreased significantly in the past 2 decades. Endoscopic therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for acute variceal bleeding. Variceal banding ligation has superceded injection sclerotherapy as the most popular treatment modality for acute bleeding. Multiple banding ligators are widely used with high success in restoring hemostasis. The combination of banding and sclerotherapy may be useful in preventing the early recurrence of varices and rebleeding after initial obliteration of varices. Selective vasoactive agents such as somatostatin analogs also improve the outcome of patients. Radiologic shunting has proven to be an effective salvage procedure when endoscopic treatments fail and may be a good intermediate-stage therapy while the patient is waiting for liver transplantation.
