Abstract:
Objective
To investigate the application valve of metal clip in the endoscopic management of esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB).
Methods
The clinical data of cirrhosis patients with EVB,admitted to the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from November 2021 to December 2024,were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into two groups,according to the application of metal clips in the endoscopic management of EVB.The success rate of hemostasis,early rebleeding rate,delayed rebleeding rate,operation time,amount of sclerosant used,number of additional treatments,incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.
Results
A total of 34 patients were included,with 14 in the study group and 20 in the control group.The study group showed superior outcomes in delayed rebleeding rate,operation time,and amount of sclerosant used,compared to the control group: 0 (0/14) vs. 40% (8/20),(7.07 ± 1.64) min vs. (10.30 ± 4.16) min,(10.43 ± 1.87) ml vs. (18.20 ± 2.88) ml,with statistically significant differences (P< 0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of success rate of hemostasis,early rebleeding rate,number of additional treatments,or incidence of postoperative complications (P >0.05).
Conclusion
The application of metal clips demonstrates significant efficacy in the endoscopic management of EVB,with minimal risk.It significantly reduces the delayed rebleeding rate,shortens operation time,and decreases the amount of sclerosant used,making it worthy of clinical application.
