Successful embolization of ileal conduit stomal varices with N-butyl cyanoacrylate via a recanalized paraumbilical vein
2018
Abstract A 77-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital for marked hemorrhage in her ileal conduit stoma. She had a history of cystectomy and urinary diversion for bladder carcinoma 2 years ago. Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated varices in the ileal conduit stoma. We accessed the varices via a recanalized paraumbilical vein to avoid pain from the transhepatic approach, and selectively embolized the varices with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). We consider antegrade embolization of ileal conduit stomal varices with NBCA to be effective and feasible. Access via a paraumbilical vein is a useful alternative to the transhepatic approach.
