1.	Hemorrhage 01/01/2007 - "INTRODUCTION: Successful endoscopic sclerotherapy is effective in securing hemostasis for bleeding lesions and remains the first line and only needed therapy for most of the patients (pts), but bleeding reoccurs in 10% to 30% pts, and 4% to 14% of the pts die after acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB)" 10/01/1992 - "Endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy (EVS) is highly effective in arresting active esophageal variceal bleeding" 07/01/1992 - "The best treatment remains endoscopic sclerotherapy, which controls the bleeding in 90% of the cases" 02/01/1990 - "We conclude that emergency sclerotherapy, mainly with a large sclerosant volume, is highly effective in arresting active variceal bleeding" 01/01/1988 - "Sclerotherapy appears to be the most effective treatment for the majority of patients with acute variceal bleeding" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

Varicose Veins (Varicose Vein) 06/01/2006 - "CONCLUSION: In most patients, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy is a safe treatment for recurrent varicose veins, with an excellent immediate result" 07/01/2005 - "On the other hand, sclerotherapy is not indicated for patients with large varices, while ligature competes with pharmacologic treatment, some people suggesting the superiority of ligature because of better patient compliance, although probably the best option would be a combination of both" 09/01/1998 - "In addition angiographic sclerotherapy (balloon occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration) is highly effective for large gastric fundal varices and no rebleeding is expected when successfully done" 09/01/1992 - "For patients with these recurrent varices, endoscopic injection sclerotherapy was very effective and improved the prognosis" 03/01/1990 - "Long-term injection sclerotherapy is widely accepted as the first line treatment to prevent recurrence of variceal haemorrhage although early rebleeding, prior to the obliteration of varices, represents an important limitation of therapy" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

Esophageal and Gastric Varices (Esophageal Varices) 11/01/2000 - "CONCLUSIONS: Repeated injection sclerotherapy eradicated esophageal varices in most long-term patients" 01/01/1985 - "Injection sclerotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for esophageal varices" 01/01/1999 - "Improved long-term survival following complete eradication of esophageal varices by sclerotherapy." 12/01/1997 - "These results suggest that gastrorenal veins play an important role in the protection against recurrent esophageal varices after sclerotherapy, while the protective role of paraesophageal veins appears to be small." 04/01/1997 - "CONCLUSIONS: (i) Endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic variceal ligation were equally effective in controlling acute bleed; (ii) endoscopic ligation achieved variceal obliteration faster and in fewer treatment sessions; (iii) endoscopic variceal ligation had a significantly lower rate of development of portal gastropathy and rebleeding, (iv) while both techniques influenced gastric varices equally, there was significantly higher esophageal variceal recurrence after endoscopic variceal ligation than sclerotherapy."
