PURPOSE: Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is a widely-accepted treatment for gastric varices (GVs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BRTO with lauromacrogol foam sclerotherapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between May 2014 and June 2015, 32 patients were treated with lauromacrogol foam. Lauromacrogol foam was made using a combination of agents, with a 2:1:1 ratio of room air: lauromacrogol: contrast media. Patients were followed up using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and endoscopy.
RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in 31 of 32 patients (96.9%). Portal vein thrombosis occurred in two patients and resolved spontaneously. No other major complications were observed. The overall mean dose of lauromacrogol used was 12.4 mL (range, 8-20 mL). Complete obliteration of GVs was confirmed in all 31 patients (100%) on follow-up CT. Seven of the 31 patients (22.6%) experienced worsening of esophageal varices. Rupture of esophageal varices occurred in three patients and was treated successfully with band ligation. Five patients (16.1%) experienced worsening of ascites and responded well to diuretic therapy.
CONCLUSION: BRTO utilizing lauromacrogol foam appears to be a safe and useful treatment option in patients with GVs in the short term.
