Unraveled: Coil Migration After Embolization of Gastric Varices
Gastric varices are a severe complication of portal hypertension and may lead to life-threatening bleeding. Endovascular interventions, including transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and coil embolization, are effective treatment strategies. However, coil migration is a rare but serious complication. We present a unique case of coil migration from a gastric varix to the duodenum after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and embolization.
