Abstract:Objective To evaluate the outcomes and complications of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment for esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB) in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated by cirrhosis.Methods Clinical data of 13 patients with AIDS complicated by cirrhosis and EVB who underwent endoscopic procedures at Hangzhou Xixi Hospital from April 1, 2020, to December 31, 2025, were retrospectively analyzed. Endoscopic treatment outcomes and postoperative complications were evaluated.Results All 13 patients completed endoscopic treatment for esophagogastric varices. Among them, 3 patients underwent endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) (1 patient underwent EUS-guided splenic artery embolization with portal pressure gradient measurement after EVL), 3 patients underwent endoscopic tissue glue injection of gastric varices combined with endoscopic sclerosing agent injection for esophageal varices, 4 patients underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided precise disconnection of gastric varices, 1 patient underwent EUS-guided coil placement, 2 patients underwent EUS-guided precise disconnection of peravenous varices. No severe complications, such as perforation or ectopic embolization occurred. During follow-up, rebleeding from esophagogastric varices occurred in 2 patients, which resolved after EUS-guided precise disconnection. Postoperative fever occurred in 2 patients, which was considered related to splenic infarction and septicemia.Conclusion Individualized endoscopic diagnosis and treatment may achieve favorable short-term outcomes in AIDS patients with cirrhosis and EVB. However, close attention should be paid to complications such as fever and rebleeding. Strict adherence to endoscope reprocessing protocols is essential to reduce the risk of nosocomial infection and ensure medical safety.
