Gastric variceal rupture successfully treated with repeated EIS and EVL.
A 68-year-old female with liver cirrhosis presented at the Emergency Room of our hospital with copious tarry stools. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed an isolated gastric variceal rupture, and we performed endoscopic injection sclerotherapy using cyanoacrylate, on four occasions, resulting in successful hemostasis. Injection of CA is a useful emergency treatment option for gastric variceal bleeding without gastro-renal shunt.
