Massive bleeding from duodenal varices, a rare but life-threatening condition, can occur with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction. This case highlights successful management of recurrent duodenal variceal bleeding using thrombin injection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Duodenal varices are uncommon gastrointestinal vascular anomalies.
  • They are frequently associated with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction.
  • Massive bleeding from duodenal varices poses a significant life-threatening risk.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with recurrent, massive bleeding from duodenal varices.
  • The bleeding was secondary to a thrombosed portal vein, splenic vein, and mesocaval shunt.
  • This clinical scenario points to complications arising from complex venous obstruction.

Findings:

  • Successful endoscopic management of recurrent duodenal variceal bleeding was achieved.
  • Thrombin injection was utilized as the primary therapeutic intervention.

  • This demonstrates the efficacy of targeted thrombin embolization in managing complex variceal hemorrhage.

    • Implications:

    • Thrombin injection represents a viable and effective treatment option for challenging duodenal variceal bleeding.
    • This approach may be particularly useful in cases with thrombosed shunts or complex venous anatomy.
    • Further research into endovascular techniques for variceal management is warranted.
