Hemodynamic Changes after Balloon Occlusion of the Splenic Artery during Balloon-occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration for Gastric Varices

Balloon occlusion of the splenic artery during B-RTO for gastric varices can produce changes in hemodynamics related to gastric varices and has the potential to prompt the sclerosing agent to distribute more extensively and evenly in the gastric varix.
