Etiologies of Upper GI Bleeding
Klinik für Gastroenterologie und Hepatologie
- Risk of development in liver cirrhosis:
30-40% with compensated cirrhosis 60 % with decompensated cirrhosis New onset of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis 5-10%/year
Esophageal Varices
- Epidemiology -
1°: collaps on insufflation 2°: 1/3 of luminal diameter 3°: >50% of luminal diameter
Klinik für Gastroenterologie und Hepatologie
- Total bleeding risk of esophageal varices 25-50%
- Factors determining risk of hemorrhage
- Mortality after hemorrhage (up to 50% in 6 weeks)
- 70% re-bleeding within first year without secondary prophylaxis
Esophageal Varices

Esophageal Varices
- Therapeutic Scenarios -
Klinik für Gastroenterologie und Hepatologie
Use hepatic venous pressure gradient (HPVG) for estimation of indication/prognosis (if available)
De Franchis, J Hepatol. 2010 (Baveno V Consensus Workshop)
Variceal Bleeding
- Primary Prevention-
Non-selective betablockers Band ligation Small varices without risk factors ± no Small varices with red spots or CHILD C yes no Medium or large varices Either betablockers or band ligation

Esophageal Variceal Bleeding
- Preendoscopic therapy -
- Venous access (multiple large catheters)
- Volume resuscitation
- ICU treatment, stabilization
- Blood transfusions (hemoglobin cut-off 7g/dl)
- Pharmacotherapy: terlipressin (on suspicion of variceal bleeding)
Terlipressin Placebo Active VB (endoscopy) 17% 28% Recurent bleeding (12h) 12% 26% Mortality (20d) 20% 42% Levacher, Lancet 1995 De Franchis, Dig Liver Dis. 2004

Limited time frame (<24 hours, if possible) Frequent decompression necessary to avoid esophageal necrosis High complication rate – aspiration / regurgitation / perforation

Self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) SX Ella Stent DANIS
Esophageal Variceal Bleeding
- Treatment Failure -
Work principle:
- distension of esophageal wall
- compression of esophageal varices
- termination of hemorrhage
Device properties: - fully covered metal stent
- flares on both ends
- retrieval lassos on both ends
- delivery system with positioning balloon

- Recommendations for Placement -
SEMS placement possible without endoscopic guidance Confirm esophageal bleeding source whenever possible Use a guidewire (guide wire included) when possible Adhere strictly to implantation manual Endoscopic and/or radiographic guidance during stent deployment possible
Klinik für Gastroenterologie und Hepatologie
SX Ella Stent Danis
- Follow-up care -
Confirm proper stent placement by endoscopy as soon as possible Check stent position after 24h (by X-ray or endoscopy) or in signs of bleeding After stent placement, stabilize pt. and evaluate TIPS indication Remove stent after a week, longer indwelling time often possible Remove stent urgently on suspicion of airway compression

Conclusions
Esophageal Variceal Bleeding
- Primary and secondary prophylaxis regimes are well defined
- Treatment of hemorrhage and secondary prophylaxis by endoscopic means
- In refractory bleeding, self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) very effective
- Low complication rate of SEMS treatment
- Removal of stents via dedicated extraction device
- Combination with complementary methods of decreasing portal pressure
mandatory
- Stepwise repetition of therapeutic measures often necessary and successful
