  • Title: A new endoscopic balloon for sclerotherapy in active bleeding from esophageal varices.
    Author: Sciaretta G, Verri A, Malaguti P.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1985 May; 17(3):113-4. PubMed ID: 3891320.
    Abstract:
    A new balloon for flexible endoscopes has been developed and used in 25 patients with esophageal varices: sclerotherapy was carried out as prophylaxis against rebleeding in 17 cases, and during active hemorrhage in 8 cases. The balloon was shown to be effective in controlling hemorrhage and enabling sclerosing injections to be carried out, both in emergency and in cases of bleeding response to injections.
