Description
We report a patient with duodenal varices oozing blood who had undergone low anterior resection of the rectum and resection of the liver tumor because of multiple liver metastasis from rectal cancer 80 months previously. Although endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was carried out for the ruptured duodenal varices, their bleeding persisted and hepatic encephalopathy also appeared. Finally, balloon occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO)with percutaneous transhepatic obliteration (PTO)was carried out for the duodenal varices. Percutaneous transhepatic portography revealed detailed hemodynamics. Following PTO, the duodenal varices were stagnated by BRTO, and no complications were recognized. No re-bleeding episode has been observed since the treatment. In addition, the hepatic encephalopathy was also improved.
