Abstract
BACKGROUND
Interventional endoscopic ultrasound is clinically used for the treatment of isolated gastric varices (IGVs) owing to its precise visualization.
CASE SUMMARY
A 39-year-old man was diagnosed with a large IGV during a routine physical examination. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed gastric varices entwined with an artery, which greatly increased the difficulty of treatment. We successfully treated the patient with endoscopic ultrasonography-guided coil embolization combined with cyanoacrylate injection.
CONCLUSION
Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided coil embolization combined with cyanoacrylate injection was safe and effective for the treatment of an IGV entwined with an artery.
Core Tip: Isolated gastric varices (IGVs) are potentially fatal, and endoscopic treatment is the main treatment. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided therapy is more precise than conventional endoscopic therapy. In this case, we successfully treated an IGV entwined with an artery by EUS-guided coil embolization combined with cyanoacrylate injection. This was an effective treatment of an IGV entwined with an artery.
