PRIMARY PREVENTION OF BLEEDING FROM ESOPHAGEAL AND GASTRIC VARICES IN PATIENTS WITH PORTAL HYPERTENSION

Abstract
The problem of primary prevention of bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices in patients with portal hypertension is discussed in the review. It was analyzed main views on the mechanisms of bleeding whose study is important to define pathogenetic primary prevention. The role of accurate diagnosis of the esophageal and gastric varices state is presented to predict the risk of bleeding. It was reviewed the variants of primary prevention of bleeding using medical, endoscopic, surgical and X-ray endovascular techniques. Also different drugs for primary prevention of bleeding were characterized depending on main disease nature and degree of compensation. Minimally invasive methods for primary prevention including endoscopic, endovascular techniques and medical therapy were compared. The authors discuss some unsolved problems of primary prevention of bleeding in patients with intrahepatic and extrahepatic portal hypertension, as well as in primary distribution of varices in stomach.
