Emergency balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices

Abstract

Emergency B-RTO is an effective treatment for the prevention of rebleeding from ruptured gastric varices.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt in the management of gastric and ectopic varices

“…The study is limited by the small sample size and short follow-up. A recent smaller (n = 11) uncontrolled series using B-RTO within 24 h of GVB Review in depth TIPSS for gastric and ectopic varices Tripathi and Jalan 1157 supports these findings with no rebleeding observed during a follow-up period of over 3 years [22].…”

Endoscopic hemostasis for bleeding gastric varices treated by combination of variceal ligation and sclerotherapy with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate

“…Three patients without initial hemostasis did not achieve stable vital signs, and prompt surgical or radiological modalities, including the Hassab procedure and BRTO, could not be applied as suggested in previous reports. 5,36,37 Among the eight rebleeding cases, fi ve patients received salvage therapy and did not again experience recurrent bleeding. A previous study indicated that N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injection had little infl uence on the survival of patients with advanced liver failure.…”

The long-term outcome of patients with bleeding gastric varices after balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration

“…In addition, we review the literature on the usefulness of B-RTO in the treatment of gastric varices with hemorrhage. 15,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Patients and methods…”
