Endoscopic Sclerosis versus Cyanoacrylate Endoscopic Injection for the First Episode of Variceal Bleeding: A Prospective, Controlled, and Randomized Study in Child-Pugh Class C Patients

Abstract

These findings support the view that cyanoacrylate injection is superior to conventional sclerosis for controlling esophageal variceal bleeding in Child-Pugh class C patients. It is also highly probable that the better bleeding control achieved using the cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive treatment led to a lower hospital mortality rate.
