Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration (BRTO) of Gastric Varices
Patients with cirrhosis of the liver can develop gastric or gastroesophageal varices, which can bleed and become life threatening Gastric varices pose unique management challenges, as endoscopic therapies are limited Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is a treatment option for gastric varice at high risk of bleeding The BRTO is recommended for patients with gastrorenal ...
متن کاملIleal Varices Treated with Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration
A 55-year-old man with hepatitis B virus antigen-positive liver cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital with anal bleeding. 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 کاملDual Microcatheter Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastric Varices: Coil Embolization as a Substitute for Balloon Occlusion
Dual microcatheter retrograde transvenous obliteration (DMRTO) of gastric varices enables dual microcatheters to be advanced to the gastric varices themselves or to a site adjacent to the varices. The sclerosing agent is infused through the first microcatheter following coil embolization of the outflow vessels through the second microcatheter, which is placed several centimeters back from the v...
متن کاملPlug-Assisted Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Spontaneous Splenorenal Shunt for Refractory Hepatic Encephalopathy: Case Series
Intervention treatment such as balloon retrograde or anterograde transvenous obliteration has been used for management of refractory hepatic encephalopathy as well as gastric variceal bleeding. Recently, plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration without a help of balloon was newly developed to treat these patients. Here, we report three cases suffering refractory hepatic encephalopathy ...
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...
