Résumé
A 70-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital for treatment of growing gastric varices in the fundus. Computed tomography showed gastric varices continuously draining the pericardiophrenic vein via the inferior phrenic vein. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration by a transjugular approach was planned. However, a conventional balloon catheter or microballoon catheter could not be inserted into the efferent vein near the varices because of the narrowness and tortuosity of the vein. Hence, coil-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration was performed by an inverted catheter tip technique using a single conventional microcatheter. This technique might be useful for cases in which it is difficult to insert a balloon catheter into the efferent vein.
