  • Title: Thrombin injection for bleeding duodenal varices.
    Author: Rai R, Panzer SW, Miskovsky E, Thuluvath PJ.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1994 Oct; 89(10):1871-3. PubMed ID: 7942686.
    Abstract:
    Bleeding from duodenal varices, although rare, is often massive and life threatening. Duodenal varices are more common in extrahepatic portal venous obstruction. We report a patient with recurrent bleeding from duodenal varices, secondary to thrombosed portal vein, splenic vein, and mesocaval shunt, who was successfully managed by injection of thrombin.
