Treatment of gastric varices by endoscopic sclerotherapy using butyl cyanoacrylate: 10 yearsʼ experience of 635 cases

Abstract

Endoscopic sclerotherapy with BC is effective for the hemostasis of bleeding GV, as well as obliteration of GV which contributes to less rebleeding and better survival. The modified sandwich method may be useful to minimize ectopic embolism, which we speculated to result from excess iodized oil.
