Abstract
It is feasible to use BRTO to treat cases of gastric varices in which the inferior phrenic vein is the main draining vein. Cases in which the main draining pathway is the pericardial vein are less feasibile for BRTO. The use of BRTO in cases in which the paraesophageal vein is the main draining vein is possible but may be difficult because of a complicated venous network.
