[A variant of an operation of varicose veins of the esophagus and cardia in patients with portal hypertension syndrome]. / Variant operatsii na rasshirennykh ven pischevoda i kardii u bol'nykh s sindromom portal'noi gipertenzii.

On analysing universal experience, the authors suggest their variant of operation on varicose veins of the esophagus and cardia with the use of Doppler ultrasonography and intraoperative packing of the veins with a radiocontrast foamy polymer. With this method the flow of blood in the venous collaterals of the stomach and esophagus can be arrested more radically during the operation, which considerably reduces the percentage of recurrent bleeding from these veins.
