Summary

We report on three patients with severe recurrent bleeding from large esophagogastric varices which could not be controlled by conservative treatment or sclerotherapy. In these cases the bleeding was successfully arrested by intravascular injection of Bucrylate.

Key words:

Esophagogastric varices - Severe recurrent bleeding - Endoscopic Bucrylate obliteration
