| Popis: | Less-invasive therapies such as endoscopic injection sclerotherapy and endoscopic variceal ligation are being used increasingly in the management of gastroesophageal varices caused by portal hypertension.1 Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration recently has been developed mainly for management of gastric fundal varices.2 However, no definitive conservative therapy for duodenal varices has been established, and surgical intervention still is used in emergency situations because of the lack of alternatives.3,4 Unsuccessful management of ruptured duodenal varices may result in death.5 We herein report the first known case of a ruptured duodenal varix successfully managed with endoscopic variceal ligation. |
