[Gastroesophageal reflux: a factor eliciting esophageal variceal hemorrhage?].
Following a hemorrhage, ten patients with esophageal varices were examined by means of gastroscopy and functional analysis of the esophagus with special regard to gastroesophageal reflux. A pathological gastroesophageal reflux was not confirmed. These results plus previously published findings lead to the assumption that reflux is of not importance in the initiation of esophageal variceal bleeding.
