Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most relevant causes of death in patients with cirrhosis and clinically significant portal hypertension, with gastroesophageal varices being the most frequent source of hemorrhage. Despite survival has improved thanks to the standardization on medical treatment aiming to decrease portal hypertension and prevent infections, mortality remains significant. In this review, our goal is to discuss the most recent advances in the management of variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis with specific attention to the treatment algorithms involving the use of indirect measurement of portal pressure (HVPG) and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), which aim to further reduce mortality in high-risk patients after acute variceal hemorrhage and in the setting of secondary prophylaxis.
胃肠道出血是肝硬化和具有临床意义的门静脉高压患者最主要的死亡原因之一,食管胃静脉曲张是最常见的出血来源。尽管通过旨在降低门静脉高压和预防感染的标准化医疗治疗,生存率有所提高,但死亡率仍然很高。在本综述中,我们的目标是讨论肝硬化静脉曲张出血管理的最新进展,特别关注涉及使用门静脉压力间接测量(肝静脉压力梯度,HVPG)和经颈静脉肝内门体分流术(TIPS)的治疗算法,这些算法旨在进一步降低急性静脉曲张出血后高危患者以及二级预防情况下的死亡率。
