A Case Series Of Management Of Variceal Bleeding Using N-Butyl-Cyanoacrylate In Pregnant Women

Endoscopic management of refractory gastrointestinal non-variceal bleeding using Histoacryl (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) glue

BACKGROUND Histoacryl glue (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) has well-established utility in the endoscopic management of gastrointestinal variceal bleeding. The role of Histoacryl glue in non-variceal bleeding is less clear, and there are few articles describing its use in this setting. METHODS Six patients with intractable non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding were managed using injection of Histo...

Duodenal Variceal Bleeding Successfully Treated by Endoscopic N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate Injection

∗ Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (M. Costa). therapeutic procedures have not yet been established for bleeding from duodenal varices. Endoscopic band ligation, sclerotherapy, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration, and resection of a segment of bleeding site have been used for treatment.2--5 We presen...

Clinical outcomes of gastric variceal obliteration using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate in patients with acute gastric variceal hemorrhage

BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of endoscopic injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBC; Histoacryl) for treatment of bleeding gastric varices. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the records of 455 patients with gastric variceal hemorrhage (GVH) who were consecutively treated with NBC from January 2004 to July 2013, with a mean follow-up period of 582 days. The ...

Band ligation vs. N-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injection in acute gastric variceal bleeding: a prospective follow-up study.

BACKGROUND. Treatment of gastric varices (GV) implies a number of several difficulties and sometimes entails complications. The best endoscopic success rate was attributed until now to the use of tissue adhesives(N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate) and band ligation. AIM. To assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of cyanoacrylate injection compared to band ligation in patients with acute GV hemorrhage...
