Abstract
- Duodenal varix is a rare site of bleeding in patient with portal hypertension and frequently causes massive bleeding. Treatment modalities are endoscopic sclerotherapy, endoscopic ligation, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), and shunt operation. A patient with duodenal varix was hemodynamically unstable and an emergent salvage transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt was performed. In spite of TIPS procedure, varix bleeding was not controlled and endoscopic band ligation and endoscopic sclerotherapy were performed with successful hemostasis and eradication of duodenal varix.
