Abstract

A 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with refractory gastrointestinal bleeding. He received extrahepatic bile duct resection, hepaticojejunostomy and pancreatojejunostomy for bile duct stenosis and pancreatic pseudocyst 6 approximately 8years ago. We revealed that the cause of shock state was bleeding from varices of an interposed jejunum and portal vein obstruction as a complication of these operations. He received transileocolic vein obliteration with coils. Refractory gastrointestinal bleeding stopped. We concluded that this obliteration was effective and useful treatment for this complication.
