  • Title: [Direct embolization of stomal varices in portal hypertension after the treatment of liver metastases].
    Author: Ortiz Morales CM, Arraiza Sarasa M, Benito Boillos A, Bilbao Jaureguizar JI.
    Journal: Radiologia; 2010; 52(6):556-9. PubMed ID: 20633912.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a man with a history of colorectal carcinoma and metastatic liver involvement who developed portal hypertension and recurrent bleeding from stomal varices after treatment with intra-arterial oxaliplatin and radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres. The definitive treatment for the bleeding episodes was embolization of the varices with coils using a direct percutaneous approach.
