Embolization of gastric varices

Embolization of gastric varices
This radiographic image was obtained following embolization of gastric varices using a combination of a metallic plug (arrowhead) and sclerotherapy delivered through a balloon occlusion catheter (arrow). The embolization has resulted in occlusion of flow through the varices.
