Management of ectopic variceal bleed may be difficult at times due to anatomical location or presence of collaterals. We present a case of an elderly cirrhotic male with acute upper gastrointestinal bleed due to a large duodenal varix successfully managed by endoscopic ultrasound guided coil placement along with glue (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) injection.
