N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate Pulmonary Embolism After Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Gastric Variceal Bleeding

Abstract

Radiographically evident PEs are uncommonly observed following EIS and appear to be more common in patients receiving a higher volume of liquid acrylate. Affected patients were either mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic, and there were no direct fatalities of this complication.
