Brief Summary: The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of early administration of Sanvar in combination with endoscopic treatment for the control of acute variceal bleeding
Detailed Description: This is a single-arm open-label clinical study with historical controls using Sanvar vapreotide administered for 5 days in patients with acute variceal bleeding due to portal hypertension

Cirrhotic patients with a history of acute hematemesis andor melena admitted to the emergency unit and meeting the eligibility criteria will receive as soon as possible after admission within a maximum of 24 hours after onset of hemorrhage and within 6 hours after admission Sanvar vapreotide acetate 50 µg IV bolus followed by an IV continuous infusion of 50 µgh for 5 days

The diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy will be performed as soon as possible after the initiation of the study drug infusion but no more than 12 hours after the patients admission to the study center A final follow up will be performed on Day 42

Patients for whom the source of bleeding is determined at endoscopy to be due to a cause other than portal hypertension eg gastric ulcer will be replaced In addition in such cases the study medication will be discontinued and patients will receive standard treatment according to the cause of their bleeding These patients will be followed up for safety only
