Abstrakt: The results of prophylactic endoscopic treatment of 22 patients with extrahepatic portal hypertension (main group--EPH) and 76 patients with cirrhosis of the liver (a comparison group--CL) who had had variceal bleedings were analyzed. In the EPH group permanent eradication was obtained in 14 patients (63.6%), in the CL group--in 46 patients (50.5%). With the average duration of achieving the eradication the number of sessions before achieving it proved to be greater than that for CL. Recurrent bleeding during the first month of observations was noted in 7 out of 22 patients. In most cases the sources of bleedings were postligational and postinjectional ulcers of the cardial part of the stomach. Long-term results (1-5 years) were followed-up in 14 patients. In 9 patients there was no recurrent bleeding during 2-5 years of observation. Thus, it is expedient to use endoscopic interventions as the methods of the "first line" in the complex program of secondary prophylactics of variceal bleedings in extrahepatic portal hypertension.
