The second one recovered with this only therapeutics the first one bled throu.gh his esophageal fissure after the operation. These hemorrhages diminished with the placement of Blakemore-Sengstaken Cube, by means of which the patient was saved. The urgent surgical therapeutics have come as far as the total gastrectomy
