Ectopic variceal bleeding after hepatobiliary surgery: A case report
RATIONALE: Jejunal varices are rare in portal hypertension and are often difficult to diagnose and treat. Herein, we present a case of gastrointestinal bleeding due to jejunal varices after hepatobiliary surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 69-year-old man presented with recurrent massive gastrointestinal b...

description | RATIONALE: Jejunal varices are rare in portal hypertension and are often difficult to diagnose and treat. Herein, we present a case of gastrointestinal bleeding due to jejunal varices after hepatobiliary surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 69-year-old man presented with recurrent massive gastrointestinal bleeding. He underwent partial right hepatectomy and cholangiojejunostomy 2 years prior to the first onset of bleeding. Two sessions of endoscopic vessel ligation for esophageal varices were performed afterwards, and hematemesis resolved completely, but massive melena still recurred during the following 5 years. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed with jejunal varices caused by portal venous stenosis after hepatobiliary surgery. INTERVENTION: Portal venous angioplasty using balloon dilation and stent implantation was performed. OUTCOMES: After the intervention procedure, the patient did not experience any onset of gastrointestinal bleeding during follow-up. LESSONS: Hepatopancreatobiliary could lead to the formation of jejunal varices. The combined use of capsule endoscopy, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and sometimes portal venography is a promising strategy to search for jejunal varices. Transcatheter angioplasty appears to be a safe and effective method for treatment of jejunal varices in certain appropriate cases. |
