Core Tip While varices and variceal bleeds are well-known and feared complications of advanced cirrhosis and portal hypertension, omental varices are a rare sequala even in patients with known esophageal or gastric varices. Omental varices pose a risk for hemoperitoneum if ruptured, which is a life-threatening complication with high mortality rates despite surgical intervention. This case report reviews the first documented case of successful liver transplantation after hemorrhagic shock secondary to omental variceal bleed.
