Home-made Ligator for Endoscopic Ligation of Essophageal Varices

---

Ruptured esophageal varices has been recognized as the most frequent cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, particulary in developing countries. It is found approximately in 30% of patients with major upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and the mortality rates ranges about 15% to 40%. Most patients who have cirrhosis develop varices, but only one third of them experiences variceal bleeding. The risk of variceal bleeding within 2 years is approximately 20-35% following the esophageal varices, and the risk of dying due to the initial variceal bleedings increases up to 50%.

Treatment of variceal bleeding was one of the most controversial subjects in medicine including sclerotherapy, obliterative angiothereapy, operation and ligation. Nowdays, there are a lot of treatment that can stop variceal bleeding. The best current treatment for rupture of esophageal varices are endoscopic esophageal varices ligation (EVL) and endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST).
