Abstract:
Duodenal varices are an uncommon presentation of portal hypertension and can result in significant gastrointestinal bleeding with a high mortality. Diagnosis can be difficult and therapeutic options limited. We present a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a woman aged 54 years with primary biliary cholangitis who was ultimately diagnosed with ectopic duodenal variceal bleed, which was successfully treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt provide an effective treatment for ectopic duodenal variceal bleed caused by liver cirrhosis, though interventional radiologists need to remain aware of and vigilant for the complications and risks of this treatment option.
