[Sclerosing of bleeding oesophageal varices (author's transl)].
Bleeding from oesophageal varices was stopped in two patients by percutaneous transhepatic transportal injection of 50% glucose and thrombin into the gastric coronary vein and the gastro-oesophageal varices draining into it. The only complication was a right-sided pleural effusion in one of the patients.
