A Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Role of Emergent vs Early Endoscopy in Child B and C Cirrhotic Patients With Acute Variceal Bleed (AVB)-EARLY - AVB
Sponsor: Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India
Summary
Summary-Variceal bleeding - 70% of all upper gastro-intestinal bleeding episodes in patients with portal hypertension, and they result from esophageal varices (EVs), gastric varices (GVs), or ectopic varices. Management of Acute variceal bleeding includes endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) along with vasoactive agents. Inspite of successful hemostasis, this is associated with high variceal rebleeding (VRB) in Child B and C cirrhosis and have higher 6-week mortality rates and liver related adverse events. From time of presentation to emergent endoscopy that is 4 hours can reduce the mortality when compared early endoscopy within 4-12 hours so that mortality rate related to bleed can reduced and early hemostasis can be achieved.
