Outcomes and Recurrence Rate of Esophageal Varices after Endoscopic Treatment in Patients with Alcoholic Cirrhosis and Viral Cirrhosis

The incidence of alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC) is increasing. However, few reports have focused on ALC-derived esophageal varices (EV). We retrospectively examined differences in overall survival (OS) and EV recurrence rate in patients after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) for ALC and hepatic B/C virus liver cirrhosis (B/C-LC).
