A 57-year-old woman underwent upper digestive endoscopy as follow up endotherapy for gastroesophageal varices. The scope revealed snake-like fundal varix. Injection of the varix with 5 ampoules of amcrylate and lipiodol.
As regards the current
situation,
Can we follow-up on the patient without injection sclerotherapy?
Are beta-blockers sufficient to manage this patient?
If we decide to do injection therapy at what part of this
snake-like varix we can inject the sclerosant material.
