Based on the thoughts that transthoracic approaches give less load to liver than transabdominal ones, and that effectiveness for bleeding esophageal varices is secured by cardiectomy with complete devascularization of lower esophagus and upper stomach, a new operative procedure for esophageal varices is described which is more safely applicable to the risky patients. Twenty cases with portal hypertension were operated, including eight cirrhotic patients with severe hepatic dysfunction, six cases of emergency bleeding and six reoperated cases. No operative death was encountered, but three cirrhotic patients died during the late follow up period. The remaining 17 patients had uneventful postoperative courses without recurrence esophageal bleeding during 20 months follow up period. Thus this operation may eliminate the shortcoming of previous operative methods for portal hypertension.
