Core Tip

Core Tip: This is the first series of case reports on endoscopic sclerotherapy for venous varices at the choledochojejunostomy, including videos. From the experiences of our center, endoscopic sclerotherapy with lauromacrogol/α-butyl cyanoacrylate injection may be considered as an easy, cost-effective and efficient treatment option for hemorrhage from venous varices at the choledochojejunostomy site. For patients without complications, underlying diseases, and significant organ dysfunction, as well as those who have undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign diseases, endoscopic sclerotherapy tends to have better outcomes.
