ABSTRACT

La hemorragia de vías digestivas altas por várices gástricas, aunque menos frecuente que la secundaria a lasesofágicas, es una causa de alta mortalidad en los pacientes cirróticos. La ligadura es el tratamiento óptimoen las várices esofágicas, pero este tratamiento para las gástricas es todavía muy discutido.Presentamos el caso de una anciana, con antecedente de cirrosis hepática secundaria a esteatosis hepáticano alcohólica (NASH), que ingresa, con hemorragia de vías digestivas altas, evidenciándose en laesofagogastroduodenoscopia una várice fúndica subcardial con sangrado activo, para la cual se decide manejocon ligadura con banda de caucho con resultado exitoso y desaparición de la várice en control posterior


Upper digestive tract bleeding due to gastric varices, although less common than bleeding secondary toesophageal varices, is one of the causes of high mortality in cirrhotic patients. Although band ligation is theoptimal treatment for esophageal varices, its use for gastric varices is still hotly debated.We report the case of an elderly woman with a history of hepatic cirrhosis secondary to nonalcoholicsteatohepatitis (NASH) and obesity who was admitted to the hospital with upper digestive tract bleeding.An esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an actively bleeding subcardial varice in the gastric fundus. Thedecision was made to manage the bleeding with rubber band ligation. The outcome was successful outcome,and the varice had disappeared in subsequent check-ups
