Series of conventional endoscopic investigations failed to identify the bleeding source. Enhanced computed tomography scan revealed complete obstruction of the main portal vein with numerous collateral veins running towards the hepatic hilus. Comprehensively, hemorrhage from the jejunal varices caused by postoperative portal hypertension was highly suspected. As the jejunal loop was out of reach, adult variable-stiffness colonoscope (AVSC) was utilized to solve the Roux-en-Y anatomy. Numerous telangiectasis and small varices at hepaticojejunostomy were observed and in the mean time, bleeding was noticed and endoclips were placed without any delay. Ectopic variceal bleeding in jejunal loop after pancreaticoduodenectomy is difficult to manage. We believe that AVSC is an alternative device when specialized jejunal endoscopy is not available.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-13-00126.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,8]],"date-time":"2014-12-08T16:00:08Z","timestamp":1418054408000},"page":"584-589","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Unusual Bleeding From Hepaticojejunostomy Controlled by Adult Variable Stiffness Colonoscopy: Report of a Case and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Baba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University, Saitama, Japan"},{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mai","family":"Wakabayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Oba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hironobu","family":"Baba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akito","family":"Mitsuoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Sanada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Kuwabara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazumi","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Narihide","family":"Goseki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shuwa General Hospital, Kasukabe, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideyuki","family":"Ishida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"i0020-8868-99-5-584-b01","series-title":"Hepatology","first-page":"1154","article-title":"Management of ectopic varices","volume":"28","author":"Norton\n              ID,","year":"1998","unstructured":"Norton\n              ID, \n            \n              Andrews\n              JC, \n            \n              Kamath\n              PS. \n          \n          Management of ectopic varices.
