Abstract

<p>Left-sided portal hypertension (LSPH), an uncommon manifestation of portal hypertension, is characterized by conditions such as isolated gastric varices and splenomegaly, which result from impeded splenic venous drainage in the presence of pancreatic disease. We employed a percutaneous transhepatic technique to achieve regression of isolated gastric varices by implanting a covered stent within a blocked splenic vein and by embolizing the posterior gastric vein and varices using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. We report the successful treatment of stenting for LSPH by the covered stent placement.</p>
