Endoscopic obturation of gastric varices using tissue adhesive glues like cyanoacrylate is an accepted modality for the treatment of gastric varices. This study was undertaken to determine whether it was possible to predict immediate puncture site bleed on withdrawal of needle catheter during endoscopic glue injection without lipiodol. We prospectively analyzed 100 consecutive patients with cirrhosis who underwent glue injection. Glue injection was successful in all the patients. Immediate…

In Vitro Studies on Technical Determinants for Avoiding Immediate Puncture-Site Bleeding in Glue Therapy for Gastric Varices With A Correlational Clinical Study
TLDR
Normal saline is incompatible with glue and can cause premature glue solidification and Observing a minimum ‘needle-indwelling-time’ based on the glueSolidification time is recommended.
Treatment and follow-up of a case of bleeding duodenal varix
TLDR
It is concluded that glue injection can effectively be used as a first-line treatment for bleeding duodenal varices.

TLDR
The data suggest that cyanoacrylate injection therapy is safe and effective for the prevention of short- and long-term bleeding from gastric varices.
Treatment of gastric varices by endoscopic sclerotherapy using butyl cyanoacrylate: 10 years' experience of 635 cases.
TLDR
Endoscopic sclerotherapy with BC is effective for the hemostasis of bleeding GV, as well as obliteration of GV which contributes to less rebleeding and better survival, and the modified sandwich method may be useful to minimize ectopic embolism.

Prevalence of gastric varices and results of sclerotherapy with N-butyl 2 cyanoacrylate for controlling acute gastric variceal bleeding.
TLDR
GV can be seen in 15% of patients with portal hypertension and the incidence of bleeding is 22.7%, and NBC is highly effective in controlling GV bleeding.

N-2-butyl-cyanoacrylate for bleeding gastric varices: a United States pilot study and cost analysis
TLDR
Cyanoacrylate treatment of gastric varices is safe, clinically effective, and cost effective, reflecting marked cost reduction with improved survival in the cyanoacrylation-treated group and believed to result largely from avoidance of shunt interventions.

Prevalence, classification and natural history of gastric varices: A long‐term follow‐up study in 568 portal hypertension patients
TLDR
Gastric varices are a common and serious complication of portal hypertension and sclerotherapy was more effective in controlling acute bleeding and obliterating varices in gastroesophagael varices than in isolated gastricvarices; the latter often required surgery.
