Catheter-retaining Balloon-occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration for Gastric Varices.

CONCLUSION: These results show that catheter-retaining BRTO is a simple and highly effective procedure for difficult cases with minor complications. Furthermore, catheter-retaining BRTO does not require a large daily dose of EO and is, therefore, an effective treatment for solitary gastric varices. PMID: 25391698 [PubMed - in process]
