Abstract
Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is one of the major complications of cirrhosis and also the leading causes of death in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Terlipressin is a triglycyl-lysine vasopressin, a synthetic vasopressin analogue that is mainly used for the treatment of acute variceal hemorrhage. This article aims to review the current status of treatment of gastroesophageal variceal bleeding with terlipressin from the perspective of evidence-based medicine.
