Abstract

Chen Y, Zhu Y, Chen F and Wang L

A liver cirrhotic patient presented with hematemesis was endoscopically found with esophageal varices accompanied with early gastric cancer. Endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic variceal ligation were performed in one time. The early gastric cancer lesion was removed en bloc and varices banded without complication of bleeding and perforation. This case indicates that the strategy of performing the endoscopic mutation submucosal dissection and endoscopic variceal ligation at the same time may be safe and effective for the patient with decompensated stage liver cirrhosis.
