Status of sclerotherapy for variceal bleeding in 1990.
Westaby D, Williams R. Westaby D, et al. Am J Surg. 1990 Jul;160(1):32-6. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9610(05)80865-7. Am J Surg. 1990. PMID: 2195911 Review.
Sclerotherapy can then provide hemostasis in patients who are actively bleeding and prevent early rebleeding in those in whom bleeding has stopped spontaneously. The progression to long-term injection sclerotherapy is of proven benefit; however, doubts exist concerning the …
