Active gastrointestinal bleeding and inactive gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotic patients require different therapeutic approaches. In patients whose hemorrhage becomes inactive, the main problem is the indication of surgical portasystemic shunt. The purpose of this paper is: to describe the current therapeutic procedures proposed for active gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotic patients;to suggest some reasons why there is such great confusion regarding the therapy of this disorder. Because the site of gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotics is rarely the small bowel, colon or rectum, only upper digestive tract hemorrhages are considered.
