Gastrointestinal bleeding: Endoscopic cyanoacrylate therapy for gastric variceal bleeding.
Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2010 Apr; 7(4):190-1.NR

Abstract

Bleeding from gastric varices is relatively common and can be life threatening. The optimal treatment strategy for gastric variceal hemorrhage is controversial. Both interventional radiology and endoscopic therapies require a high level of clinical expertise. Which type of therapy is best? A recent study compared endoscopic cyanoacrylate glue injection with the insertion of a transjuglar intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
