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.
