description Portal hypertension with the subsequent development of portosystemic shunts such as rectal varices is a well-known complication of liver cirrhosis. We discuss the classic options for management of bleeding rectal varices. We present an alternative and not previously described use of an over-the-scope clip to manage bleeding from a rectal varix refractory to management with endoscopic banding.
