Effectiveness of endoscopic haemostatic methods for acute esophagogastric bleedings of portal genesis was analyzed. Under study there were indices of survival and mean life span of 157 patients divided into two groups: main and of comparison. Considerable improvement was established in indices of survival and mean life span in patients of the main group, where haemostatic methods were used for hemostasis. The patients of the main group had higher level of quality of life in long-term periods of follow-up, longer kept ability to work, physical activity and self-service.
