Abstract:
:Between 1982 and 1987, 43 patients with variceal bleeding due to extrahepatic portal obstruction were treated by repeated endoscopic injection sclerotherapy using 1% polidocanol intravariceally. This decreased rebleeding, as evidenced by a decrease in bleeding risk factor (BRF), mean transfusion requirement, and mean number of transfusions per patient per month of follow-up. Differences between pre- and postsclerotherapy parameters were significant (p less than 0.001). The varices were eradicated in 86% of patients. The mean sclerotherapy sessions required were 7.68 +/- 2.39 (SD). Complications were infrequent. Forty-three patients were followed from 5 to 68 months: cumulative survival was 97.7% and varices recurred in 16%. Sclerotherapy avoided a second operation in 21 postsurgical patients. Sclerotherapy for managing variceal bleeding due to extrahepatic portal obstruction is a reasonable alternative to surgery.
