Abstract:Abstract: Objective To evaluate prognostic value using microprobe endoscopic ultrasonography in esophageal variceal ligation (EVL) for patients with cirrhosis. Methods 64 inpatients with liver cirrhosis were selected from August 2015 to August 2017 as research subjects. All the patients received EVL treatment. After EVL treatment, the patients were examined by gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography every half a year, followed up for 1 year. The recurrence of the esophagus was observed by gastroscopy. The maximum diameter of esophageal submucosal varices and collateral veins was observed by endoscopic ultrasonography, and the degree of varicosity was recorded. Results Within 1 year after EVL treatment, 2 patients died. At the end of the follow-up, in the 62 patients, 30 patients had recurrence, and the recurrence rate was 48.4% (30/62). Four cases of esophageal varicose hemorrhage occurred again, and the bleeding rate was 6.5% (4/62); Compared with before treatment, there were no significant differences in the number of moderate/severe cases of esophageal submucosal varices, and severe cases of esophageal collateral veins after EVL treatment (P > 0.05); After EVL treatment, compared with the non recurrence group of esophageal varices, the number of moderate/severe cases of esophagus submucosal varices was significantly increased, the number of severe cases of paroesophageal varices and periesophageal varices increased significantly in the recurrent group. There were significant difference (P = 0.000). Conclusion The extent of esophageal submucosal varices and collateral veins in patients with EVL treatment were followed up with microprobe ultrasound endoscopy, which had a certain predictive value for the recurrence of esophageal varices after EVL.
