Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, which often results from portal hypertention, is known as one of the most frequent death causes of patients with liver cirrhosis. When a patient has bleeding episode, it's very likely that he/she will develop another one in the future. Endoscopic treatments such as ligation, sclerotherapy or cyanocrylates are proved to decrease the risk of re-bleeding. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different endoscopic treatments in patients who have both gastric and esophageal varices with liver cirrhosis: In addition to cyanoacrylates, ligation versus ligation plus sclerotherapy.
