The most formidable and the most common complication of portal hypertension is bleeding from varicose veins in the esophagus and stomach. Here are presented results of treatment of 195 patients with bleeding varices of the esophagus and the stomach and portal hypertension. Patients were treated at the Republican hospital number 2 – the Center for Emergency Medicine of Yakutsk in the period from 2005 to 2012. Patients were divided into 2 groups. The main group consisted of 50 patients, who were treated by emergency indications using endoscopic techniques – ligation and sclerotherapy. 8 patients conducted sessions of endoscopic sclerotherapy. 1 % solution of ethoxysclerol was used as sclerosant. Sclerotherapy included paravasal and intravasal introduction in sclerosant. 42 patients had combined endoscopic treatment: the fi rst sessions were presented by endoscopic sclerotherapy, and the next, starting with the 2nd and 3rd – endoscopic ligation. Comparison group consisted of 145 patients who underwent conventional treatment, based on the installation of the probe-obturator, conservative therapy and surgery. According to our data, the use of endoscopic procedures allow signifi cantly more often to achieve control of bleeding – twelve and four percent against thirty-four percent. In the main group the number of patients with rebleeding was 3 times less than in the control group. At relapse of esophageal-gastric bleeding it was observed hematemesis, tarry diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, pale skin and mucous membranes, cold sweat and acrocyanosis. The severity of symptoms depends primarily on the severity and duration of the bleeding, the degree of blood loss. Hospital mortality in the control group was 4,1 times less.
