Hemostasis With Endoscopic Band Ligation for Rupture of Jejunal Varices

Sumario:Compared with the variceal rupture in the esophagus or stomach, rupture of ectopic varices including those in the jejunum is rare, and a definitive hemostatic method is not established. We report our case and review the literature regarding the pathophysiology and hemostatic methods of ectopic varices. A patient presented with hematemesis and cardiopulmonary arrest following hemorrhagic shock. After resuscitation, we performed emergency endoscopy and diagnosed ruptured jejunal varices that were subsequently treated by endoscopic band ligation.
