  • Title: [Hemorrhaging esophageal varices--Drug therapy and endoscopic sclerosing of varices].
    Author: Lux G.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1984 Apr 26; 102(16):463-6. PubMed ID: 6609866.
    Abstract:
    Acute bleeding from esophageal varices is complicated by a mortality rate of 30-80%, which is reduced by sclerosing therapy to 20-38%. Sclerosing therapy also prevents recurrent bleeds, long-term survival rate seems not to be improved significantly. The decision to shunt procedures after recompensation of liver function is still discussed controversially .
