    Author: Voiculescu M.
    Journal: Med Interne; 1988; 26(4):251-65. PubMed ID: 3072659.
    Abstract:
    The present-day therapy of portal hypertension and of variceal bleeding includes new drugs (propranolol, glypressin, somatostatin, a.o.) and methods of hemostasis (variceal sclerotherapy). This second part of a paper concerned with the upper digestive hemorrhage through rupture of the esophageal varices presents the main drug therapies and other various methods used to decrease the portal pressure, to achieve a direct hemostasis in case of active variceal bleeding and to prevent the rebleedings.
