Core Tip

Core tip: Acute gastric variceal hemorrage is associated with a high mortality rate which accounts for one third of the patients. Histoacryl^® injection has been reported as one of the effective procedures for treating this condition. The present study investigated patients presenting with acute gastric variceal hemorrage and found that Histoacryl^® injection was a safe and highly effective hemostatic method for treating gastric variceal hemorrhage with 97.8% initial hemostasis; only a 10% early re-bleeding rate and a 14.4% procedure-related complication rate were found. The risk factors for re-bleeding were compromised liver status and presence of ascites.
