New hope to stop deadly bleeding in liver cancer patients

NCT ID NCT04918459

Summary

This study looked back at medical records to compare two different procedures for preventing dangerous rebleeding in the esophagus of patients with liver cancer. It involved 70 patients who had already experienced a serious bleeding episode. Researchers compared an ultrasound-guided glue injection method against the standard rubber band ligation technique to see which was better at preventing another bleed.
