title: [Using synthetic analogues of somatostatin in the complex treatment of bleedings from varicose esophagus and stomach veins in patients with liver cirrhosis].
abstract: Bleedings from varicose veins of the esophagus and stomach belong to the most serious complications of hepatic cirrhosis and 30% of such patients suffer from them. The article features a review of the literature on the application of somatostatin synthetic analogues in a complex treatment of bleedings from varicose esophagus and stomach veins. Hemostasis can be achieved in 84% of patients by means of ocreatide monotherapy. Hemostasis becomes efficient in 97% of cases when ocreatide is used in a complex therapy with ligation.
