Article Synopsis
- - Three patients with severe variceal bleeding due to portal vein thrombosis were treated using a transsplenic endovascular approach, which is an innovative technique for this condition.
- - Each patient had successful recanalization of the portal/splenic vein, and some received additional treatments like TIPS and variceal embolization using standard methods.
- - This transsplenic method could be particularly beneficial for patients who can't be treated with traditional endoscopic or surgical methods, but further studies are needed to see how well these outcomes hold up over time.
