| Popis: | JVIR 1995; 6:233-236 PmENTs with enterostomies and coexistent portal hypertension occasionally develop varices at the mucocutaneous junction of their stoma. These portosystemic collateral vessels are prone to recurrent episodes of bleeding despite local interventions including manual compression, sclerotherapy, percutaneous embolization, and stoma1 revision (1-6). Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is currently under investigation for control of variceal bleeding at the gastroesophageal junction and has recently been reported to be promising in treating intraabdominal intestinal varices (7,8). We report two pediatric cases in which bleeding stomal varices were successfully managed with TIPS placement. |
