title: [Digestive hemorrhage in portal hypertension: role of sclerotherapy].
abstract: Haemorrhage is perhaps the most terrible complication of portal hypertension whatever is the etiopathology. The authors point out how sclerotherapy of the varices is either a prophylaxis and a therapeutic procedure with a low rate of local and systemic complications. Even if they are supported by good results in personal experience, the authors notice as important is to tailor the treatment for each patient.
