Abstract
- Two patients with failed drainage procedures for biliary atresia are presented in whom major hemorrhage from esophageal varices followed shortly after ostomy closure for recurrent stomal bleeding. Before ostomy closure is contemplated in these patients, evaluation for esophageal varices and their prophylactic obliteration with sclerotherapy is recommended.
