Ruptured gastric fundal varices treated with endoscopic variceal ligation and transjugular retrograde obliteration: case report.
Therapeutic modalities for the obliteration of collateral vessels connecting the portal venous system with the systemic circulation, transjugular retrograde obliteration (TJO) and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration have recently been developed, and several satisfactory results have been reported with their use. We report a case of ruptured gastric fundal varices treated with TJO after endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL). In our case, variceal bleeding was controlled successfully with EVL and varices were eradicated with TJO.
