Thrombin injection for bleeding duodenal varices.
Abstract
Bleeding from duodenal varices, although rare, is often massive and life threatening. Duodenal varices are more common in extrahepatic portal venous obstruction. We report a patient with recurrent bleeding from duodenal varices, secondary to thrombosed portal vein, splenic vein, and mesocaval shunt, who was successfully managed by injection of thrombin.
