Article Synopsis
- Vascular plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (PARTO) is an effective treatment for gastric variceal bleed (GVB) in liver cirrhosis patients, showing a higher success rate than traditional endoscopic methods.
- In a study of 14 patients who underwent PARTO after failed endotherapy, the procedure resulted in a 100% clinical success rate and no recurrent hemorrhage within six months, with patients maintaining stable liver function scores.
- While complications included some patients experiencing worsening esophageal varices and ascites, the overall outcome suggests PARTO is safe, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection for optimal results.
