The emergency treatment of bleeding esophageal varices still remain a very difficult problem. In this report results obtained with conservative and operative procedures will be compared. In particular 32 patients underwent transhepatic occlusion of the gastric vessels feeding varices, and 8 patients (total experience 27 cases) to emergency esophageal transection with the EEA stapler instrument. The conclusion is that both methods represent useful alternatives, in selected cases, rather than being antagonists.

Abstract
The emergency treatment of bleeding esophageal varices still remain a very difficult problem. In this report results obtained with conservative and operative procedures will be compared. In particular 32 patients underwent transhepatic occlusion of the gastric vessels feeding varices, and 8 patients (total experience 27 cases) to emergency esophageal transection with the EEA stapler instrument. The conclusion is that both methods represent useful alternatives, in selected cases, rather than being antagonists.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
