Abstract
Introduction: This review focuses on the effect of Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), acid-suppressive agents, combined with ligation to manage rebleeding ulcers in cirrhotic patients. Methods: Data reviewed during approximately the last 20 years combining different studies concerning the use of antiacids in Variceal Cirrhotic Patients. Result: Data showed different results, with most supporting the role of PPIs in this field. Conclusion: PPIs used as adjunctive to EVL in cirrhotic patients for either prophylaxis or treatment of bleeding ulcers following ligation showed successful results and a good impact on general health and should be tried on those patients to improve their care.
