    Journal: Am Surg; 1984 Jan; 50(1):49-51. PubMed ID: 6607002.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen alcoholic patients who had bled from esophageal varices underwent elective distal splenorenal shunt. None died in surgery, and morbidity was minimal. Two-year survival for the group was 84 per cent. All five patients who have abstained from alcohol remain alive.
