Modified 'sandwich' injection with or without ligation for variceal bleeding in patients with both esophageal and gastric varices: a retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on this single-center retrospective study, both of the two kinds therapies appeared to have relatively favorable outcomes. With respect to the rebleeding rate at 1-year, modified 'sandwich' injection combined with EVL may be superior to modified 'sandwich' injection alone.
