A novel 19-gauge, blunt-tipped, side cutting single throw, 70-cm long transjugular needle, specifically designed for transvenous kidney biopsy, was used in seven patients with high risk for bleeding. A mean of 4 device-passes (3-6) per patient resulted in a satisfactory specimen for pathological diagnosis. Immediate post-biopsy nonenhanced CT was performed to evaluate for bleeding at the biopsy site. All patients were observed for 2 hr after the procedure. No clinically significant immediate or late complication was noted.

BRTO for ectopic small intestinal varices bleeding via dilated superior mesenteric veins and left ovarian vein: A case report.

Departments of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
Ectopic Variceal Bleeding is a rare complication of portal hypertension, often difficult to manage and potentially life-threatening. However, established guidelines directing treatment are lacking. This report presents a 51-year-old female with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis, who experienced rare small intestinal bleeding due to varicose veins in the superior mesenteric vein and left ovarian vein.

Background And Aims: Gastric variceal bleeding occurs less commonly than bleeding from esophageal varices (EVs), although it is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices type 1 (GOV1) is treated like EVs. In contrast, other forms of gastric variceal bleeding, including gastroesophageal varices type 2 (GOV2) and isolated gastric varices types 1 (IGV1) and 2 (IGV2), are treated with varying endoscopic approaches.

Introduction: Successful closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can be obtained with surgical ligation or with occlusion via minimally invasive per-catheter techniques. This study was performed to assess feasibility and effectiveness of transjugular PDA occlusion in dogs weighing < 3 kg with a device called Nit-Occlud® PDA.
Animals: Thirteen client-owned dogs.

Materials And Methods: Eight patients, including five (62.5%) females and three (37.
Evaluation of clinical outcome and predictors of mortality in patients undergoing antegrade transvenous variceal embolization in adjunct to salvage transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for active uncontrolled gastric variceal bleeding.

Objectives: Salvage transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is indicated in patients with active endoscopically uncontrollable variceal bleeding. TIPS alone is not effective in the management of gastric varices, and balloon occluded transvenous obliteration (BRTO) requires favourable variceal anatomy. Concomitant placement of a TIPS stent with antegrade variceal embolization leads to control of gastric variceal bleeding with no significant increase in portal pressure.
