Abstract

We report that haemostasis was obtained by the use of SEMS in two patients with bleeding oesophageal varices which failed conventional therapy (vasoactive drugs, antibiotics, endoscopy, and Sengstaken balloon tamponade). One patient subsequently died of sepsis; the other was treated with TIPS and was discharged.
