1) Summarize the pathologic anatomy and hemodynamics associated with gastric and ectopic varices. 2) Describe the varying techniques of portosystemic collateral embolization, and balloon occluded transvenous obliteration (BRTO and BATO) for the management of gastric varices. 3) Identifiy the skillset and tactics for practice builging and clinical patient selection. 4) Describe the techniques for transvenous sclerosis of ectopic varices will be described.
This session will describe the pathologic anatomy and hemodynamics associated with gastric and ectopic varices. The varying techniques of portosysteic collateral embolization and balloon occluded transvenous obliteration (BRTO and BATO) for the management of gastric varices are also reviewed. Practice builging and clniical patient selection will also be addressed. Advanced techniques for transvenous sclerosis of ectopic varices will be described.
