Dataset Information

Embolization of parastomal and small bowel ectopic varices utilizing a transhepatic antegrade approach: A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ideal approach to managing parastomal and small bowel ectopic varices (EVs) is yet to be established.

Purpose

To evaluate outcomes following percutaneous antegrade transhepatic venous obliteration (PATVO) in patients presenting with bleeding from parastomal or small bowel EVs.

Material and methods

A case series of 12 patients presenting with active or recurrent bleeding from parastomal or small bowel EVs who underwent 17 PATVO interventions at our tertiary care institution was performed. Data extraction from electronic medical records included baseline characteristics and procedural details. Endpoints included technical success, early clinical success, and re-bleeding.
