Rate of primary hemostasis in acute bleeding was 92.3%. In 3 patients with bleeding from varicose veins of cardia endoscopic treatment was not effective. In prophylactic treatment rate of bleeding recurrence during 1 year was 15.2%. A 6 month--survival was 93.3%, it depended on functional group by Child.
