ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and morbidity of endoscopic variceal ligation for the prophylaxis of rebleeding from oesophageal varices. This work is a prospective study including 102 patients having had at] least one episode of variceal bleeding. The mean age is 52,5 years. Oesophageal varices were eradicated in 83,3% of cases after an average of 3,5 sessions. Recurrence of oesophageal varices after eradication was observed in 22% after an average follow-up of 7 months. 10 patients died before eradication of oesophageal varices from causes unrelated to the technique. The endoscopic variceal ligation is effective for eradication of oesophageal varices, with a low morbidity. This technique appears to be a method of choice in the prophylaxis of rebleeding from oesophageal varices
