Abstract:
The significance of serious complications after endoscopic sclerotherapy is growing alone with the increasing popularity of this method. In a consecutive prospective series of 91 patients with massive haemorrhage from oesophageal varices, treated with fiberendoscopic injection sclerotherapy, four cases of oesophageal necrosis and rupture were encountered.
