Abstract

Duodenal varices can develop in patients with portal hypertension secondary to liver cirrhosis. Although upper gastrointestinal bleeding is often severe and fatal, the definite treatment or guideline has not been established. Although endoscopy is the primary therapeutic modality, the use of radiologic interventions, such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, balloon or vascular plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration, and percutaneous transhepatic variceal obliteration, can be considered alternative treatment methods for duodenal varices. Herein, we report a case of duodenal varix in a patient with poor hepatic functional reserve and vascular anatomy, which are contraindications for an occlusion balloon or a vascular plug, successfully treated with coil-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration.

십이지장 정맥류는 간경화증에 의한 문맥압 고혈압 환자에서 발생할 수 있으며, 치명적인 심한 상부 위장관 출혈을 일으킬 수 있으나 아직까지 명확한 치료 지침이 정립되어 있지는 않다. 일차적으로 내시경으로 치료를 시도하고 지혈 실패 시 목정맥경유간속문맥전신순환연결술, 풍선 혹은 혈관 마개를 이용한 역행성 경정맥 폐색술, 피부간경유 폐색술 등과 같은 중재적 치료를 고려할 수 있다. 저자들은 내시경적 치료에 실패한 십이지장 정맥류 출혈 환자에게 저하된 간 기능과 해부학적인 구조의 제한으로 인해 코일을 이용한 역행성 경정맥 폐색술을 시행하여 성공적으로 치료한 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
