Improved survival in patients with refractory variceal bleeding treated with esophageal stents: A multicenter cohort study

Tamponade devices are crucial in the management of refractory variceal bleeding, with balloon probes being the only option until the early 2000s. More recently, self-expanding ESs have been recommended, although their superiority over BT in terms of survival has not yet been demonstrated. Our multicenter cohort study, using propensity score analysis, found that ESs provided superior bleeding control at Day 5 and survival benefit at Week 6, regardless of severity of liver failure or use of rescue TIPS. These findings highlight ESs as the optimal tamponade device, although they might not obviate the need for prompt rescue TIPS placement.

Abstract

Tamponade devices are crucial in the management of refractory variceal bleeding, with balloon probes being the only option until the early 2000s. More recently, self-expanding ESs have been recommended, although their superiority over BT in terms of survival has not yet been demonstrated. Our multicenter cohort study, using propensity score analysis, found that ESs provided superior bleeding control at Day 5 and survival benefit at Week 6, regardless of severity of liver failure or use of rescue TIPS. These findings highlight ESs as the optimal tamponade device, although they might not obviate the need for prompt rescue TIPS placement.
