Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of dense ligation on liver function and hemodynamics in patients with esophageal variceal bleeding(EVB). Methods A total of 120 patients of liver cirrhosis with EVB were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group was treated with dense ligation, the control group received sclerotherapy. The liver function and hemodynamic level of patients in two groups were compared. Results ALT, γ-GT and ALP levels of patients of liver cirrhosis with EVB in two groups decreased after treatment, and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05); the blood flow velocity and blood flow in two groups increased after treatment, and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05); The success rate of hemostasis in observation group was higher than that in control group, as well as the incidence of complications was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Dense ligation is safe and effective in treating patients of liver cirrhosis with EVB, and it can effectively improve the liver function and hemodynamic level of patients.
