BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices continues to be a life threatening complication of chronic liver diseases and portal hypertension. The purpose of this randomized prospective study is to compare the efficacy of octreotide administration and emergency injection sclerotherapy for the control of actively bleeding esophageal varices and prevention of early rebleeding in patients with cirrhosis.
