Combined BRTO and partial splenic embolization may prevent exacerbation of esophageal varices and shows promise as a treatment option.īalloon-occluded antegrade transvenous obliteration Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration Gastric varices Partial splenic embolization Plug- and coil-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. This review outlines BRTO indications and contraindications, describes basic BRTO procedures and modifications, compares BRTO with other GVs treatments, and discusses various combination therapies. Simplifying the route of blood flow from GVs to the gastrorenal shunt is important for the successful BRTO. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO), as known as retrograde sclerotherapy, has been widely adopted for treatment of GVs because of its effectiveness, ability to cure, and utility in emergency and prophylactic treatment. Rupture of gastric varices (GVs) can be fatal. ![]()
