Ethanolamine Oleate Versus Butyl Cyanoacrylate for Bleeding Gastric Varices: a Nonrandomized Study

Abstract

These results suggest that initial control of fundal varices is more difficult than it is with cardiac varices, but butyl cyanoacrylate is superior to ethanolamine oleate, and the survival advantage from butyl cyanoacrylate seems to be partially related to the increased early bleeding deaths in the ethanolamine oleate group.
