Tu1081 PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF POST-BANDING ULCER BLEEDING FOLLOWING ENDOSCOPIC VARICES LIGATION IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS

Esophageal varices bleeding is a major complication of liver cirrhosis. Endoscopic varices ligation (EVL) has been recommend for prevention of esophageal varices bleeding as well as emergent treatment for acute esophageal varices bleeding. However, post-banding ulcer may lead to another lethal bleeding episode. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors of post-banding ulcer bleeding (PBUB) following endoscopic varices ligation.
