Figure 2 Balloon-occluded retrograde venography.
A: Balloon-occluded retrograde venography (BRTV) shows the dilated efferent vein and the duodenal varices, but the contrast material quickly disappears through several afferent veins. Note that the balloon was inflated in the right ovarian vein (arrow); B: BRTV with occlusion of the main portal trunk (arrow) after embolization of one of the afferent veins reveals the complete opacification of the duodenal varices.
