Abstract
Management of jejunal variceal bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy can be difficult. Previously, these cases were treated by portal vein stenting or shunt operations, resulting in a high likelihood of rebleeding. Endoscopic management could provide an alternative to invasive surgery; however, few reports have demonstrated endoscopic treatment [1] [2] [3] [4]. We report a successful case of balloon-assisted enteroscopy for jejunal loop variceal bleeding.
