  • Title: [Emergency endoscopic sclerosis in esophageal varices].
    Author: Gallo Reynoso S, Candelaria M, Elizondo Rivera J.
    Journal: Rev Gastroenterol Mex; 1991; 56(4):223-8. PubMed ID: 1810011.
    Abstract:
    In 52 patients we performed endoscopic sclerotherapy during active bleeding with good results in stopping hemorrhage in 93%. Most patients were Child "C" (66%) and postnecrotic cirrhosis was the commonest etiology (50%). Major complications were pleural effusion (2%) and mediastinal inflammation (2%), no mortality was found directly by this method. Conclusions are that endoscopic sclerosis of variceal hemorrhage have a special role in stopping bleeding but has no effect in one year survival.
