Duodenal variceal bleeding successfully treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: a case report and review of the literature.

Treatment options are endoscopic, interventional radiologic and surgical modalities. In this article, we presented a case of a successful duodenal variceal bleeding treatment with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. The other treatment modalities are also reviewed.
