| Core Tip |
Bleeding ectopic varices located in the small bowel (BEV-SB) caused by portal hypertension is a rare, life-threatening clinical scenario. This retrospective study presented the treatment experience using enteroscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) and subsequent interventional radiology (IR) for BEV-SB. From January 2019 to December 2023, 4 of 519 patients with portal hypertension were identified as BEV-SB. The phases from the first episode of BEV-SB to the first EIS, the first EIS to the first IR, and the first IR to December 2023 were 20 person-months, 42 person-months, and 77 person-months, respectively. The corresponding transfusions of each phase were 34 units, 31 units, and 3.5 units of red blood cells and 13 units, 14 units, and 1 unit of plasma, respectively. After the comprehensive management, no further gastrointestinal bleeding was observed. We conclude that EIS may be effective in achieving hemostasis for in BEV-SB, although, rebleeding is common, and IR aiming to reduce portal venous pressure may lower the rebleeding rate. |
