Retrograde-Antegrade Accelerated Trap Obliteration: A Modified Approach to Transvenous Eradication of Gastric Varices.
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR 2017 Februrary
This series presents a hybrid technique for obliteration of gastric varices (GVs) termed retrograde-antegrade accelerated trap obliteration that employs sclerosant agent instillation under concurrent inflow and outflow vessel occlusion with coils or plugs. Six patients (mean age, 56 y) with GVs were treated in 2014 and 2015. Technical success rate was 100%. Five patients completed 30-day follow-up. There were no procedure-related complications, and clinical success rate was 100%, with no bleeding recurrence over a mean follow-up of 298 days ± 178. GV obliteration rate was 100% (n = 4) at a mean of 157 days ± 158. This limited experience suggests that the described technique represents a viable approach to GV obliteration.
