Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of local injection of cinnamyl alcohol and hemagglutinin combined with dense esophageal variceal ligation (DEVL) in treatment of cirrhosis with esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB).Methods 45 patients of liver cirrhosis and esophageal varicose rupture and bleeding from Feb 2016 to Dec 2019 were randomly divided into two groups. 21 patients in control group were treated with DEVL. On the basis of DEVL, 24 patients in treatment group were intravenously injected with 1.0~2.0 mL mixed solution (lauromacrogol 10.0 mL + hemagglutinin 2 u) at every two ligation points and there were usually 5~10 points in total. A second gastroscopy was performed after 30 days, and the above treatments were performed when necessary, until all varicose veins were completely eliminated.Results The clearance rate of esophageal varices in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (83.33% vs 52.38%, P < 0.05) in 6 months after the treatment was done. In term of the recurrence rate of esophageal varices, the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The treatment group presented a significantly lower bleeding rate during decrustation period than the control group in cases of esophageal varices recurrence (0.00% vs 19.05%, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in first-time endoscopic treatment failure rate, postoperative fever rate, incidence of postoperative retrosternal pain and the post-operation half-year mortality between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Local injection of cinnamyl alcohol and hemagglutinin combined with DEVL may substantially benefit the patients of liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices, as its clinical efficacy appears rather significant. Thus, it may be recommended as one of treatment schemes available.
