Interventional Radiology for Bleeding Ectopic Varices
Ectopic varices are rare, enlarged veins caused by high pressure in the portal vein system. Interventional radiology manages these cases using CT for diagnosis, placing a TIPS to reduce pressure, and often adding embolization to stop bleeding. Treatment approach depends on anatomy and requires a team of specialists.
