ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the rule of changes in endoscopic and endoscopic ultrsonic findings after endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy in the follow-up period. Methods Patients suffered from esophagogastric variceal bleeding and received endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy were investigated. Patients with liver cirrhosis after viral heptitis and their varices eliminated or reduced to grade Ⅰor Ⅱ after sclerotherapy entered this study for at least 5 years' follow - up. Endoscopic and endoscopic ultrsonic findings were recorded to find its course of transformation. Results Lumens of varices were occluded by thrombus and eventually replaced by white fibrous tissue after endoscopic sclerotherapy. Vessels reappeared within e-sophageal wall gradually after a lot of time in the form of formation of new venules (93. 8% ) or re-vascular-ization (6. 2% ) . Newly formed varices within gastric wall after sclerotherapy were seen in 5. 3% of the cases and some cases of duodenal varices were also found rarely in the follow-up. Endoscopic ultrasonic finding confirmed the revascularization and dilatation of vessles after sclerotherapy. Conclusion From the follow-up results it indicates that varices would reappear gradually after endoscopic sclerotherapy, regular re-examination and appropriate treatment in time are the most important measure to assure its long term effect.
