    Abstract:
    Fibroendoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices during or after a bleeding period is an effective method with low risks. From 1977 to June 1981, 60 patients underwent 125 sclerotherapy sessions. In 61,5% this palliative therapy had good results. 27% died during the first stay in hospital, 11,5% of them due to severe attacks of bleeding. Another 11,5% had rebleeding episodes later on. The complication rate of this method is 0,9%, the mortality rate 0%.
