There were no complications arising from endoscopic treatment. One patient required laparotomy after failed endoscopic dilatation for gastro-oesophageal junction volvulus. All 11 patients were well at mean follow-up of
8.4 months.

Conclusion: Endoscopy plays an important role in complementing surgical management of both early and late complications of bariatric surgery. Our experience has indicated that Alvelestat in vitro complications related to post-operative leaks, fistulae and sinuses can be managed safely and effectively using clips, tissue glue and/or stent application. Similarly, post-operative strictures can be readily dilated. Further prospective data will be helpful to confirm
these observations. Key Word(s): 1. Bariatric complications; 2. endoscopy; 3. safety; 4. efficacy; 5. stents; 6. clips; 7.

Methods: Totally 106 Chinese hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis in the third affliated hospital of Sun Yet-sun university from November 2013 to March 2014 were included in this study. They were all underwent endoscopic examination.Serum G-17 levels were measured by radioimmunoassay and serum PGI, PGII were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay.
