Abstract
Variceal bleeding (VB) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality associated with portal hypertension (PHT) complications in patients with liver cirrhosis. There is scarce information from South America on the frequency, primary prophylaxis and treatment of this complication. This study aimed to know the frequency of VB as the first cause of decompensation in patients with liver cirrhosis, and to describe the primary prophylaxis and management of VB.
