Abstract:
Gastric varices are one of the serious complications of liver cirrhotic portal hypertension. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO), as an interventional treatment method, can effectively prevent and control gastroesophagel variceal bleeding. Simultaneously, it has an obvious effect in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy and liver function improvement. This article reviews the clinical application and research progress of BRTO at home and abroad in recent years, with a view to provide reference for clinical treatment.
