Abstract

After endoscopic ligation to stop bleeding from esophageal varices, new hemorrhage from ulcers at the site of ligation reccurred in 2 cases. Octreotide-somatostatin analogue, diminished bleeding effectively. There was no adverse effect of infusing octreotide. Octreotide may have some benefits in achieving the control of variceal bleeding.
