Risk factors associated with bleeding after prophylactic endoscopic variceal ligation in cirrhosis

Andreas Drolz et al.

Summary: Prophylactic endoscopic variceal band ligation (EVL) in cirrhosis patients is generally safe, with factors such as bilirubin levels and varices size being associated with early upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) after the procedure. This study did not find a significant relationship between coagulation indices and post-EVL UGIB, suggesting that routine substitution of blood or coagulation products may not be necessary.

Prophylactic fresh frozen plasma and platelet transfusion have a prothrombotic effect in patients with liver disease

Fien A. von Meijenfeldt et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the effects of FFP and platelet transfusions on patients with liver disease-associated hemostatic changes in a clinical setting. Results showed an increase in thrombin generation and platelet counts in these patients following transfusions, indicating a prothrombotic effect. However, the necessity and clinical relevance of these transfusions remain questionable.
