Abstract
Gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage is a major complication of portal hypertension in 50% to 60% of patients with liver cirrhosis and is a frequent cause of mortality in these patients. The prevalence of variceal hemorrhage is approximately 5% to 15% yearly, and early variceal rebleeding has a rate...

Abstract
The duration of follow-up was a mean of 8 months (range, 3 to 22). Of the 60 patients, 22 were treated once and 38 were treated 2 to 18 times (mean 2.6 times/patient). The mean total volume of ethanol in 60 patients was 11.2 mL (range, 0.5 to 230 mL). Of the 60 patients, 56 had complete volume reduc...

Abstract
The efficacy of EO was evaluated in 21 patients (16 pyogenic granulomas and 5 venous lakes). The diameters of the lesions ranged from 0.3 to 1.0 cm. The mean number of EO injections was 1.6 (range 1-4). A CR was achieved in 95% of the reactive vascular lesions (20 CR, 1 MI). Two episodes of transien...

Abstract
Follow-up ranged from 60 to 125 months (median 116 months). The mean number of Holter recordings per patient was 2.7 (range 1-11) before and 8.3 (range 2-23) after ASA (p < 0.001). Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia occurred in 14 patients before and 27 patients after ASA (23 vs. 44%, p = 0.01)....
