Case description

One of the most ominous complications of portal hypertension is hemorrhage from esophageal or gastric varices. Patients who bleed from varices have a poor long-term prognosis, irrespective of treatment and few survive more than 5 years. In view of the prognosis of portal hypertensive bleeding, it is essential to have an urgent treatment of acute variceal bleeding and interval management, in order to prevent rebleeding.
