Gallbladder wall variceal haemorrhage with associated rupture: a rare cause of mortality in the cirrhotic patient.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually prescribed to patients undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy to decrease the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Recent studies have raised concerns that PPIs could reduce clopidogrel's efficacy by competitive inhibition of cytochrome P450 2C19 isoenzyme. All PPIs are ...
