Endoscopic Ultrasonography-guided Variceal Therapy as Salvage Treatment for Rebleeding From Duodenal Varices Following Balloon-occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Duodenal varices, though rare, are potentially life‐threatening complications of portal hypertension. Management is challenging when balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) fails to achieve complete obliteration. Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided variceal therapy (EUS‐VT) is effective for gastric varices, but reports of ...
