Abstract
A case of extrahepatic portal hypertension and gastric variceal bleeding due to portal vein occlusion, most probably secondary to chronic pancreatitis, was treated by percutaneous transhepatic angioplasty. After the portal angioplasty there was marked clinical improvement, with control of the variceal bleeding and significant reduction of the pressure gradient within the portal system.Entities:
