It is affordable, easy to use and apply, and has high efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the recent basics of the Sclerotherapy, chemistry and formulation, clinical applications, and side-effects and complications of Polidocanol, and to discuss the Polidocanol as the safety and efficacy of Sclerotherapy.展开更多

She had a history of esophageal varices, which were treated with endoscopic therapy. Five years after the treatment of esophageal varices, continuous melena occurred. Since colonoscopy showed that the melena was caused by giant rectal varices, we thought that they were not suitable to receive endoscopic treatment. We chose the modified percutaneous transhepatic obliteration with sclerosant, which is one of the interventional radiology techniques but a new clinical procedure for rectal varices. After the patient received this therapy, her condition of rectal varices was markedly improved.展开更多
