The efficacy of paravariceal sclerotherapy for bleeding oesophageal varices was evaluated. Alcoholic and post-hepatitis liver cirrhosis were the main causes of portal hypertension. A total of 28 patients between June 1982 and December 1983 were treated by this method using a flexible endoscope. Bleeding was initially controlled in 90% of patients. However 30% of patients developed recurrent bleeding within 12 months. One year survival of the patients was 70% indicating this treatment has no effect on the long term survival of the underlying disease. The technique is discussed and its complications analysed.
评估了经静脉旁硬化疗法治疗食管静脉曲张出血的疗效。酒精性和肝炎后肝硬化是门静脉高压的主要原因。1982年6月至1983年12月期间，共有28例患者采用这种方法通过可弯曲内镜进行治疗。90%的患者出血最初得到控制。然而，30%的患者在12个月内出现复发出血。患者的一年生存率为70%，表明这种治疗对基础疾病的长期生存没有影响。对该技术进行了讨论并分析了其并发症。
