[Experience in the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices].
Personal experience with respect to the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis is described. Diagnosis is directed both to the establishment of the site of bleeding and the disease responsible and to the evaluation of risk in view of the possibliity of portal decompression. Treatment is aimed at stopping bleeding and at lowering this risk so that as many patients as possible can be operated with an acceptable degree of surgical risk.
