Treatment of patients with gastric variceal hemorrhage: Endoscopic N‐butyl‐2‐cyanoacrylate injection versus balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration

Abstract

The therapeutic efficacies of EBC and BRTO for the treatment of active GVH and/or high-risk GV appeared to be similar. However, EBC might be associated with a higher rebleeding rate than BRTO. BRTO could be an effective rescue treatment for patients with GVH after initial treatment of EBC.
