TRANSHEPATIC ENDOBILIARY VASCULAR INTERVENTION (THEVI) IN A CASE OF BLEEDING HEPATICOJEJUNAL VARICES

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video describes a novel two-step procedure to address bleeding hepatico-jejunal varices, a challenging complication in hepatico-jejunostomy patients. A percutaneous transhepatic biliary tract is created and dilated, allowing access for hemostasis via colidocoscopy and histoacryl glue injection into the varices. Conventional methods failed in a 54-year-old previously operated patient, prompting this innovative approach. The procedure involves initial tamponade using a balloon catheter, tract dilatation, and targeted variceal treatment. Endoscopic follow-ups showed improvement. This percutaneous method provides essential access for intervention in complex biliary anatomies but requires further research to establish safety and effectiveness.
