One vs Five Days of Octreotide Infusion for Acute Esophageal Variceal Bleeding: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Following successful endoscopic band ligation, the 1-day regimen of octreotide had a non-inferior effect compared to the standard 5-day regimen in the prevention of 5-day re-bleeding and exhibited no significant differences in the prevention of 6-week re-bleeding and all-cause mortality.
