Figure 1 The patient inclusion process in this study. GVB: Gastric varices bleeding; EVHT: Endoscopic variceal histoacryl injection therapy; PPI: Proton pump inhibitor; APG: Aluminium phosphate gel.

Figure 2 The causes of rebleeding are related to glue discharge ulcers and venous bleeding. A: After 2 wk of endoscopic treatment, the gastric fundus shows a draining ulcer; B: Fundic vein bleeding after 3 wk of endoscopic treatment, there was gastric fundic drainage, formation of an ulcer, and bleeding; C: Varices that did not disappear completely were spurting bleeding after 14 d of endoscopic therapy.
