[Use of vasopressin in the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices. Our experiences]. 1985

Results obtained in the control of oesophageal varix rupture haemorrhage by intravenous vasopressin perfusion or selective intraarterial administration are reported. This comparative study shows intravenous administration to be the best method since it produces the same therapeutic effects with fewer undesirable side-effects than when administered arterially. In view of the high level of complications caused by selective arterial catheters, this administration method would only appear justified in cases where selective arterial catheterisation is to be carried out in any case.
