[Embolization--a new concept in the treatment of esophageal varices (late results)].
Although since 1978 we have been applying this new technique, we awaited the late results to evaluate with security the value of its application. As we have previously described in a short communication, in 1979, to embolizate the esophageal bleeding varices, we use a laparotomic approach through the right gastric vein to inject the embolizating material. After five years applying this technique, the results confirmed its efficacy.
