Colonoscopy revealed blood retention in the entire colon, but no bleeding lesion was found. Computed tomography images showed that vessels in the ileum were connected to the right testicular vein, and we suspected ileal varices to be the most probable cause of bleeding. We ...
متن کاملShort-Term Effects and Early Complications of Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration for Gastric Varices
The short-term effects of balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) to treat gastric varices were evaluated by using computed tomography (CT) and gastroscopy (GF). The subjects were 77 patients who underwent BRTO to treat gastric varices. The short-term effects of BRTO were investigated with regard to ascites, pleural effusion, venous thrombus, and esophageal varices by compar...
متن کاملBalloon occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for bleeding gastric varices: Eyes see what the mind knows
Approximately one in six patients with portal hypertension who develop varices at sites of portosystemic venous collaterals has gastric varices due to hepatofugal flow into the gastric veins. Bleeding from gastric varices, though less common, has a higher mortality and morbidity compared to bleeding esophageal varices, which are easier to manage endoscopically. The efferent channel for gastric ...
متن کاملBalloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices in a child with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction.

We describe a child who had gastric varices with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHO). A 12-year-old boy presented to the pediatric clinic with anemia and tarry stools. He was referred to ou...
