Pulmonary embolism following 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate/lipiodol injection for obliteration of gastric varices: an imaging perspective.
Bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with liver cirrhosis. Currently, therapeutic strategies for gastric variceal bleeding include transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, cyanoacrylate sclerotherapy and hepatic transplantation. Though relatively safe and efficacious, endoscopic sclerotherapy using cyanoacrylate h...
متن کاملMultiple pulmonary and systemic ectopic emboli following endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for gastric fundal varices.
We report a case of a 40-year-old female with cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding who developed multiple pulmonary emboli after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for gastric variceal bleeding. The patient did not have any respiratory symptoms after the sclerotherapy. A chest radiograph obtained one day after the procedure for the evaluation of fever showed ...
متن کاملEndoscopic follow-up of cyanoacrylate obliteration of gastric varices.
Bleeding from gastric varices is a life-threatening condition. We report our experience with cyanoacrylate injection. Twenty three patients with portal hypertension and gastric varices underwent intra-variceal injection of a cyanoacrylate/lipiodol solution (1:1). Study endpoint was variceal obliteration. Mean follow-up was 25.3 months. Variceal obliteration was achieved in 87% of patients. Recu...

Patients with cirrhosis of the liver can develop gastric or gastroesophageal varices, which can bleed and become life threatening Gastric varices pose unique management challenges, as endoscopic therapies are limited Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is a treatment option for gastric varice at high risk of bleeding The BRTO is recommended for patients with gastrorenal ...
متن کاملUsefulness of Microcatheters Inserted Overnight for Additional Injection of Sclerosant after Initial Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration of Gastric Varices
In patients with large gastric varices, dose limitation of the sclerosant can cause difficulties in achieving complete thrombosis of varices during a single balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) procedure. For patients with incomplete variceal thrombosis after the first BRTO, additional sclerosant must be injected in a second BRTO. We report a successful case of BRTO for l...
