The authors analyse results of endoscopic prevention of recurrent issues of blood from varicose veins of oesophagus in 37 patients with portal hypertension syndrome. The primary group (17 patients) underwent endoscopic ultrasound-controlled ligation of veins. The control group underwent traditional endoscopic ligation. The authors highlight decreasing recurrence rate of oesophageal issues of blood from 60 to 29.4 % (in control and primary groups, respectively) during the follow-up period lasting up to 18 months.
