PS01.080: A CASE REPORT OF JEJUNAL VARICEAL BLEEDING SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH PERCUTANEOUS TRANSHEPATIC OBLITERATION AFTER SURGERY OF ESOPHAGOGASTRIC JUNCTIONAL CARCINOMA

Abstract

Abstract Background Varicose veins in the esophagogastric junction rarely occur after surgery of esophagogastric junctional carcinoma, because the collateral pathway of the left gastric vein and short gastric vein was sacrificed. We presented a case of jejunal variceal bleeding successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic obliteration after surgery of esophagogastric junctional carcinoma. Methods Case report. Results A 50-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (Child-B) was admitted for abdominal pain, three months after proximal gastrectomy for esophagogastric junctional carcinoma. After diagnosed with peritonitis due to jejunal perforation, emergency surgery was performed. The next day after surgery, he had developed a lot of black stool. Gastroduodenoscopy revealed the variceal bleeding at the anal side of the esophagojejunal anastomois. Although endoscopic clipping was performed, intermittent bleeding was observed for several days. Since the contrast-enhanced computed tomography scanning revealed jejunal vein dilation at the anal side of the esophagojejunal anastomois, we planned to perform percutaneous transhepatic obliteration. Percutaneous transhepatic portography revealed jejunal varices and drained to the inferior vena cava, and continuously obliterated by 5% EOI (Ethanolamine oleate iopamidol). He was discharged without re-bleeding on the 14th day after the obliteration. Conclusion Percutaneous transhepatic obliteration might be a useful treatment option for jejunal variceal bleeding after surgery of esophagogastric junctional carcinoma.
