Core Tip
Core tip: Ileal conduit stomal varices are very rare, and may result in refractory bleeding. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman with progressive ileal conduit stomal variceal bleeding which was successfully managed by endovascular embolization via the transjugular transhepatic approach.
