Abstract
The majority of patients with bleeding esophageal varices are unsuitable for portal-systemic shunting operations. The high incidence of post-shunt encephalopathy encouraged the use of a direct attack on the varices. The results of injection sclerotherapy in 170 patients and esophageal transection in 60 patients demonstrate acceptable control of bleeding without precipitation of encephalopathy.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
