Abstract

#Ectopic varices (EcVs) are defined as large #portosystemicvenouscollaterals located at sites other than the gastric and esophageal regions. A patient with a bleeding EcVs may present with anemia, shock, #hematemesis, melena or hematochezia. Although bleeding EcVs are rare, they should be paid special attention because of their association with high mortality rates. However, optimal treatment for bleeding EcVs remains controversial because of the lack of standardized guidelines and randomized controlled studies. Herein, we report a case of bleeding EcV who was successfully treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) combined with #varicealembolization.
