Direct Percutaneous Embolization of Peristomal Ileostomy Varices in an Emergency Setting

Figure 3

Fluoroscopic images of the right lower quadrant. (a) Venography after embolization with coils demonstrates hemostasis. (b) Subsequent venography after embolization with glue demonstrated sluggish flow in the portosystemic shunt with multiple filling defects within the visualized collaterals consistent with embolization. (c) Injection of the right femoral vein demonstrated flow from the right common femoral vein through the iliac system and IVC without opacification of the peristomal varices.
