  • Title: Treatment of gastric varices with partial splenic embolization in a patient with portal vein thrombosis and a myeloproliferative disorder.
    Author: Gianotti R, Charles H, Hymes K, Chandarana H, Sigal S.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2014 Oct 21; 20(39):14495-9. PubMed ID: 25339837.
    Abstract:
    Therapeutic options for gastric variceal bleeding in the presence of extensive portal vein thrombosis associated with a myeloproliferative disorder are limited. We report a case of a young woman who presented with gastric variceal bleeding secondary to extensive splanchnic venous thrombosis due to a Janus kinase 2 mutation associated myeloproliferative disorder that was managed effectively with partial splenic embolization.
