  • Title: [Hemorrhage of esophageal varices: conservative or emergency treatment?].
    Author: Zannini G, Masciariello S, Porcellini M, Sangiuolo P, Pagano G, Sodo M, Iaccarino V.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1981 Dec 08; 72(49):3303-6. PubMed ID: 6975902.
    Abstract:
    The emergency treatment of bleeding esophageal varices still remain a very difficult problem. In this report results obtained with conservative and operative procedures will be compared. In particular 32 patients underwent transhepatic occlusion of the gastric vessels feeding varices, and 8 patients (total experience 27 cases) to emergency esophageal transection with the EEA stapler instrument. The conclusion is that both methods represent useful alternatives, in selected cases, rather than being antagonists.
