  • Title: [Subtotal gastric devascularization for hemorrhage caused by rupture of gastric varices].
    Author: Feneyrou B, Prioton JB.
    Journal: Presse Med; 1987 Dec 19; 16(44):2226-7. PubMed ID: 2963318.
    Abstract:
    Haemorrhage due to gastric varices raise a problem of surgical tactics. We performed subtotal gastric devascularization, respecting only the pyloric vessels, in 4 cirrhotic patients whose varices of the gastric fundus had ruptured. This technique, which is an extension of proximal oesophageal devascularization for oesophageal varices, may be necessary to control bleeding and seems to be effective in preventing recurrent hemorrhages.
