Abstract Text Ectopic varices are uncommon and accounts for 5 % of variceal bleeding with very high mortality (40%). Duodenum is commonest site for ectopic varices. There are no guidelines to treat ectopic varices and usually treated with endoscopic banding or sclerotherapy. Rebleeding rate after endotherapy is very high (20%) and may necessitate TIPS or BRTO. In this video, we have demonstrated feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided embolization of duodenal varices in a 42 year male who was presented with massive upper GI bleeding from large ectopic duodenal (3rd part) varix.
