Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Eleven patients underwent percutaneous transhepatic portography and esophageal variceal sclerosis. Absolute alcohol was used. Only two patients rebled in the follow-up period; both individuals died. Two additional patients died without further bleeding. The remaining seven patients survived from 13 to 19 months without rebleeding. Absolute alcohol is useful as a sclerosing agent for varices and may produce a more permanent and distal occlusion of gastroesophageal varices. |
