    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND/AIMS: Combined endoscopic injection sclerotherapy and endoscopic variceal ligation was used for the treatment of acute bleeding from gastric varices. METHODOLOGY: Between July 1995 and August 1998, three cirrhotic patients with acute bleeding from gastric varices were treated. Endoscopic variceal ligation of the puncture point and bleeding point was performed simultaneously. RESULTS: Acute bleeding from the gastric varices was successfully stopped in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Combined endoscopic injection sclerotherapy and endoscopic variceal ligation can be used to stop bleeding and prevent rebleeding from gastric varices.
