Abstract
|
|
|
|
The aberrant left gastric vein can be a rare cause of gastric variceal bleeding in portal hypertensive patients. Careful examination of vascular anatomy on CT scan and simultaneous embolization of the aberrant left gastric vein during the tranjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt are necessary to prevent gastric variceal rebleeding. Herein, we report a case of gastric variceal rebleeding by the aberrant left gastric vein after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, which was retrospectively diagnosed by CT scan and portogram, and successfully treated by coil embolization.
