  • Title: Sclerotherapy for bleeding esophageal varices.
    Author: Terblanche J, Bornman PC, Kirsch RE.
    Journal: Annu Rev Med; 1984; 35():83-94. PubMed ID: 6372676.
    Abstract:
    Patients with endoscopically proven variceal bleeding that continues despite conservative management require invasive emergency measures to stop hemorrhage and improve survival. Injection sclerotherapy is the simplest and most effective means currently available. The relative merits of the various techniques and sclerosants remain controversial.
