Bleeding from duodenal varices, although rare, is often massive and life threatening. Duodenal varices are more common in extrahepatic portal venous obstruction. We report a patient with recurrent bleeding from duodenal varices, secondary to thrombosed portal vein, splenic vein, and mesocaval shunt, who was successfully managed by injection of thrombin.
