dc.description.abstract | Management of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by fundal varices is particularly
difficult to manage. The options are: transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic
shunt (TIPS), endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate or balloon-occluded retrograde
transvenous obliteration (BRTO). We report a 63 year-old male with a
cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C and a 66 year-old female with a cirrhosis caused
by a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Both patients had a gastrointestinal bleeding
caused by fundal varices and were treated with sclerotherapy with cyanoacrylate
assisted with BRTO. Flow was interrupted in the gastro-renal shunt by a femoral
access in both patients. The male patient had a new bleeding two months later
and died. In the female patient an endosonography performed nine months after
the procedure showed absence of remaining varices. | |
