  • Title: Conservative management of endoscopic sclerotherapy-induced esophageal perforation.
    Author: Elfant AB, Peikin SR, Alexander JB, Méndez L.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1994 Dec; 60(12):985-7. PubMed ID: 7992981.
    Abstract:
    Esophageal perforation is a rare though potentially lethal complication of variceal sclerotherapy. Diagnosis is usually made after recognition of often subtle clinical symptoms. Surgical and nonsurgical modalities have been proposed, and nonoperative management can be successful even in patients thought to have absolute indications for surgery.
