TitleEndoscopic variceal ligation against or in combination with vasoactive drugs for acute treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Variceal haemorrhage is the commonest life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis. Current guidelines recommend endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in combination with vasoactive drugs as first-line treatment; yet this is without a firm direct evidence-base. We aimed to assess the comparative benefits and harms of EVL against or in combination with vasoactive drugs (terlipressin, somatostatin, octreotide, vapreotide) for the treatment of acute oesophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients.
