[Esophageal function scintigraphy following sclerosing therapy].
Sclerotherapy in oesophageal variceal bleeding and portal hypertension is a standardized method. Gastro-oesophageal reflux-scintigraphy was performed in 18 from 90 patients. Augmented reflux of gastric acid and signs of insufficiency could not be shown. Our results indicate that a general treatment for avoiding a relapse of variceal bleeding by reflux is not necessary.
