  • Title: Hematemesis from esophageal varices associated with esophageal perforation: sclerotherapy and endoscopic clipping.
    Author: Zippi M, Traversa G, Pica R, Occhigrossi G.
    Journal: Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci; 2012 May; 16(5):704-6. PubMed ID: 22774417.
    Abstract:
    A 46-year-old man was referred to our Unit for hematemesis. The medical history of the patient revealed an HCV-related cirrhosis, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and recent and persistent episodes of emesis. An urgent gastroscopy disclosed evidence of active bleeding from varices of the lower third of the esophagus and a concomitant laceration of the esophageal wall due to the emesis. These two conditions have been endoscopically diagnosed and successfully treated by sclerotherapy and endoscopic clipping.
