  • Title: [Esophagogastric devascularization in bleeding esophageal varices due to portal hypertension: median-term results].
    Author: Giordano G, Angelelli G, Losacco T, Mustacchio N, Macarini L, Garofalo G, Petracca G, Novelli D, Colelli P, Cannone G.
    Journal: G Chir; 1991; 12(8-9):459-61. PubMed ID: 1751343.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their personal experience in the treatment of bleeding gastroesophageal varices related to portal hypertension. The excellent results of the esophagogastric devascularization observed in the middle-term follow-up (5 years) reinforced authors' opinion on this surgical procedure as the most valid alternative to derivative surgery. Furthermore, they emphasize esophagogastric devascularization can often replace, on principle, derivative surgery.
