Case description

The video clip displays the APC stopping the hemorrhage. Endoscopic variceal ligation is safer and more efficacious than sclerotherapy as initial treatment of bleeding esophageal varices, whereas cyanoacrylate injection is the endoscopic treatment of choice for gastric varices. An adjuvant vasoactive agent is useful for the prevention of early rebleeding. Follow-up endoscopic treatment is necessary in order to obliterate residual varices.
