description Abstract Here, we report the case of patient cirrhosis with esophageal and gastric fundal varices who developed rare ectopic varices in the bilateral pulmonary hilar after repeated endoscopic treatments (tissue adhesive for gastric fundal varices + esophageal variceal ligation + esophageal variceal sclerotherapy) accompanied by serious shortness of breath. After transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt + gastric coronary vein embolization, the shortness of breath was relieved, and the portography review indicated that the ectopic varices in the pulmonary hilar were significantly improved.
