Abstract: | Ferrucci and Long recently reported the relief of esophageal food impaction with the use of intravenous glucagon in three patients. Our first experience in using this new procedure was very successful and gratifying. The essence and purpose of this brief communication is to record and further substantiate the efficacy of a new treatment modality. |
