Abstract:To investigate the clinical effect of endoscopic ligation, sclerotherapy alone and combined treatment of esophageal varices.?Methods?A retrospective study was performed on 174 patients with varicose veins. They were divided into 3 groups according to different treatment methods, and were treated with ligation, sclerotherapy and combination therapy, respectively. Statistical differences in portal vein diameter, blood flow velocity, and blood flow after treatment were compared between groups.?Results?After treatment, the blood flow velocity, blood flow and liver function [total bilirubin (Tbil), serum albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) content] were significantly different from those before surgery (P < 0.05). After treatment, the blood flow velocity, blood flow and Tbil content in the combined group were significantly higher than those in the ligation group and the sclerosis group. The ALB and ALT levels were significantly lower than those in the ligation group and the sclerosis group. At different time points, blood flow, blood flow and Tbil content increased significantly, and ALB and ALT levels decreased significantly in the three groups (P < 0.05). The clinical efficacy of the combined group was significantly better than that of the ligation group and the sclerotherapy group, and the effective rate was higher than that of the ligation group and the sclerotherapy group (P < 0.05). The incidence of fever, nausea or vomiting, and foreign body sensation was significantly lower in the combined group than ligation group and cirrhosis group (P < 0.05).?Conclusion?Ligation and sclerotherapy have a certain effect on varicose vein treatment, and the combined treatment of esophageal varices is better and worthy of clinical promotion.
