title: [Changes in the esophageal wall following sclerotherapy of varices--roentgen morphology and therapy].
abstract: Endoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices is a widely used procedure. It reduces the frequency of rebleeding and improves the survival of cirrhotics with portal hypertension. The intravariceal or paravariceal injection of sclerosing agents causes structural changes of the esophageal wall recognisable radiologically. Stricture is a late complication which occurs in about 10 percent. In residual dysphagia balloon dilatation is recommended.
