RESUMEN
El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la utilidad de la ligadura con bandas elásticas en la prevención de la recidiva hemorrágica por varices esofagogástricas. Se incluyó a 65 pacientes que sobrevivieron a un episodio hemorrágico por varices. Veintinueve (45%) eran Child A, 25 (38%) B y 11 (17%) C; el virus C y el alcohol fueron la etiología de la cirrosis en el 45 y el 31% de los casos, respectivamente. La primera sesión de ligadura se realizó entre el tercer y el quinto día después del episodio hemorrágico, y las sesiones posteriores a intervalos de 3-4 semanas. Las sesiones de ligadura se realizaron con profilaxis antibiótica. Se aplicó una media de 2,7 bandas por sesión (rango, 1-5), y la media de sesiones por paciente hasta erradicar las varices fue de 2,5 (rango, 1-6). La tasa de recidiva hemorrágica fue del 24,6% (16 episodios). En conclusión, la ligadura endoscópica con bandas elásticas es una técnica útil para la erradicación de varices esofágicas y en la prevención de recidiva hemorrágica
ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to determine the usefulness of elastic band ligation in the prevention of hemorrhage recurrence due to esophageal-gastric varices. Sixty-five patients who survived an episode of variceal hemorrhage were included in the study. Twenty-nine patients (45%) were ChildPugh class A, 25 (38%) were class B, and 11 (17%) were class C. The cause of cirrhosis was hepatitis C virus and alcohol in 45% and 31% of the patients, respectively. The first ligation session was performed between the third and fifth day after the hemorrhagic episode and subsequent sessions were carried out at intervals of 3-4 weeks. The ligation sessions were performed with antibiotic prophylaxis. A mean of 2.7 bands were placed per session (range 1-5), and the mean number of sessions required per patient to achieve variceal eradication was 2.5 (range 1-6). The rate of bleeding recurrence was 24.6% (16 episodes). In conclusion, endoscopic elastic band ligation is a useful technique for the eradication of esophageal varices and for the prevention of bleeding recurrence
