Abstract
We present the case of a man with a history of colorectal carcinoma and metastatic liver involvement who developed portal hypertension and recurrent bleeding from stomal varices after treatment with intra-arterial oxaliplatin and radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres. The definitive treatment for the bleeding episodes was embolization of the varices with coils using a direct percutaneous approach.
