| Core Tip |
Splenic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a complication of pancreatitis and can lead to development of varices with a high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. While clear guidelines are lacking, splenectomy or splenic artery embolization are often employed. We present a rare case of recurrently bleeding colonic varices (CV) due to pancreatitis-induced (PI) SVT. In an interdisciplinary board, transhepatic recanalization of the splenic vein and consecutive stenting, as well as coiling of aberrant veins was decided and successfully performed. Follow-up revealed complete regression of varices. According to our knowledge, there is no case report in English literature describing stenting of PISVT in a patient with CV. |
