Sheel Patel, Dylan Flaherty, Nana Baah, Endashaw Omer
TL;DR
This paper reports a rare case of coil migration to the duodenum after treating gastric varices, highlighting a potential complication of embolization.
Contribution
The paper presents a unique clinical case of coil migration following gastric varix embolization.
Findings
Coil migration occurred from a gastric varix to the duodenum after embolization.
The case highlights the need for careful monitoring after endovascular interventions for gastric varices.
Abstract
Gastric varices are a severe complication of portal hypertension and may lead to life-threatening bleeding. Endovascular interventions, including transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and coil embolization, are effective treatment strategies. However, coil migration is a rare but serious complication. We present a unique case of coil migration from a gastric varix to the duodenum after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and embolization.
