Sclerotherapy of Esophageal Varices
Archives of Surgery, 1980Sclerotherapy of esophageal varices is being reevaluated by many surgeons because of increasing dissatisfaction with shunting procedures. A new technique of sclerotherapy using the flexible fiberoptic endoscope with balloon tamponade of variceal channels is being evaluated. To date, 18 patients have been treated by us with this method.

No single treatment for bleeding esophageal varices is appropriate for all patients and situations. An algorithm for management of the patient with acute bleeding is presented in this article. The options for long-term, definitive therapy and the criteria for selection of each are discussed.

Clinical significance of esophageal variceal pressure in patients with esophageal varices
Journal of Hepatology, 1994In 40 patients with esophageal varices, esophageal variceal pressure was assessed endoscopically using a pneumatic pressure sensor. The effects of vasopressin or nitroglycerin on variceal pressure and endoscopic findings were also assessed in two groups of seven patients.

AbstractBleeding esophageal varices remain a major problem which has not been solved despite the number of ingenious and imaginative efforts to control and prevent hemorrhage through a variety of surgical, radiologic, pharmacologic, and endoscopic techniques.A surgically constructed portal systemic shunt still remains the most effective method of ...

RESECTION OF ESOPHAGEAL VARICES
Pediatrics, 1954Brief considerations are made on incidence, symptomatology, endoscopic and radiologic diagnosis of esophageal varices. Mention is made of various treatments advocated. Three cases in children are described; two of them complained of liver cirrhosis and one of blocking of portal vein and chronic congestive splenomegaly; all had profuse hematemesis by ...

Management of esophageal varices
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 1999Of the consequences of portal hypertension, varices carry the most sinister implications. During life, the risk of hemorrhage from varices hangs like a "sword of Damocles" over a cirrhotic's head. Hemorrhage, when it occurs, expedites the patient's demise, or often itself proves to be the terminal event.

Abstract Esophageal varices are the result of portal hypertension. Bleeding from varices occurs as the result of nature's attempt to shunt the high portal pressure of the portal bed into the systemic veins. Acute bleeding may be controlled for a short period of time either by the Sengstaken tube or by direct transthoracic ligation of the involved ...
