Abstract
Despite a pronounced reduction of lethality rates due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal variceal bleeding remains a challenge to diagnosis. Endoscopic variceal ligation is the definitive treatment of choice for active variceal hemorrhage. The gastric varices get ruptured and it considered as a most critical clinical complications of cirrhosis it leads to variceal hemorrhage. The influence of H. pylori in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis patients is rarely diagnosed. Thus, we reported the suspicion towards H. pylori infection provided no signals of such infection by microbiological and histopathological analysis were observed. Grade-III-1 column column varices was successful recovered after 3 weeks of six ligation bands deployed on esophageal varices with intake of β- blocker.
