Abstract

Venous pressure in esophageal varices was measurred using a technique of endoscopic embolization which had been developed at our institute. Observing esophageal varices with a fiberesophagoscope, an injecting needle was punctured into varices, which was connected with transducer P231D (Gould-Statham, U. S. A.) and Recorder 120 System (Saneisokki, Japan). In two cases of severe esophageal varices the renous pressure was successfully recorded using this technique for a few minutes continuously. This method seems one of the best approaches which will elucidate the pathophysiology of esophageal varices.
