Core Tip
Core Tip: The primary treatment for isolated gastric varices (IGVs), which have the potential to be harmful, is endoscopic. Treatment guided by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is more accurate than traditional endoscopic therapy. In this situation, EUS-guided coil embolization in combination with cyanoacrylate injection proved to be an effective treatment method for an IGV entangled with an artery. This was a successful treatment for an IGV that was entangled in an artery.
