Abstract
Gastric venous bleeding is one of the most common adverse events in liver cirrhosis. The therapeutic effect of isolated gastric varices is relatively clear. However, there is no appropriate clinical and endoscopic treatment for extensive variceal bleeding in the gastric fundus and body. In this patient with non-isolated gastric varices, we decided to perform endoscopic multi-point ligation of the obvious varices in the gastric fundus and body. In this patient, endoscopic treatment of gastric varices with bleeding after surgery achieved a significant therapeutic effect. Reexamination of gastroscopy at 3 months after operation showed that multiple scars were formed in the gastric fundus and fundus, and no obvious varices were found. For patients with non-isolated gastric varices, endoscopic multi-point ligation is a safe and effective treatment option for the varices with obvious gastric fundus and body.
