Abstract:
Bleeding ectopic varices is an uncommon but life-threatening complication of portal hypertension that requires a high clinical index of suspicion for early diagnosis and management. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a safe and effective treatment option for bleeding ectopic varices. However, due to a high re-bleeding rate despite a patent shunt and reduced portosystemic gradient, adjunctive measures directed at embolization of the varices should be attempted. Herein, we report a case of bleeding omental varices after traumatic injury in a cirrhotic patient presenting with hemoperitoneum and hemorrhagic shock.
