We report the first described case in the United States of balloon-occluded antegrade transvenous obliteration (BATO) performed in a cirrhotic patient with recurrent bleeding from large rectal varices. This is a novel interventional radiology approach to treat bleeding rectal varices. Our patient was a poor candidate for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and endoscopic band ligation...

Although rectal varices rarely cause bleeding, their rupture can lead to life-threatening massive hemorrhages. Balloonoccluded retrograde obliteration (BRTO) is feasible in cases of varices involving a single or a few drainage vessels. Although rectal varices usually have numerous drainage vessels,...
متن کاملBalloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices in a child with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction.
Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (B-RTO) has been used successfully to treat gastric varices in adults. However, only a few case reports of B-RTO in children have been published. 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...
