[Mediastinal and pulmonary complications of the sclerosing treatment of oesophageal varices (author's transl)].
One hundred and twenty patients with oesophageal varices were seen in the surgical clinic between 1970 and 1975; 290 individual treatments with endoscopic sclerosis were carried out. The typical radiological complications in the mediastinum and lungs have been assembled. Clinically significant complications such as oesophageal perforations with large pleural effusions are separated from uni-important complications, such as minor effusions and plate atelectases. The method of conservative treatment of varices is described and the indications for it, as against other forms of treatment, are described.
