Ligation of the oesophagus on a Vossschulte prosthesis provides interruption of the venous back-flow in gastro-oesophageal wall occurring in portal hypertension, and therefore renders more effective the disconnection techniques used for oesophageal varices when liver function is too severely impaired to permit a portal-systemic shunt. According the literature and their own initial experience, the Authors stresse the possibilities of the method in controlling active haemorrhage and preventing further bleeding, and discusse its possible complications, represented by portal thrombosis, fistulae and oesophageal stenosis. Unlike shunts, this procedure does not give rise to any worsening in hepatic function, but should nevertheless seriously considered especially if the oesophago-gastric junction is radically isolated.
