Management of gastric varices with EUS-guided coil ablation
Background and Aims
Gastric varices are associated with a greater risk of bleeding and mortality than esophageal varices. Standard treatments, including endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection and balloon retrograde transvenous obliteration, pose risks of arterial embolization in patients with a patent foramen ovale. This case highlights the use of EUS-guided coil embolization as an alternative approach.
Methods
An 80-year-old man with cirrhosis, gastroesophageal varices, atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease presented with hemodynamically significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopy revealed gastroesophageal varices with active stigmata of bleeding. A transthoracic echocardiogram with a bubble study confirmed a patent foramen ovale, increasing the risk of embolization with endoscopic cyanoacrylate or balloon retrograde transvenous obliteration. Given contraindications to a transjugular intravenous portosystemic shunt, EUS-guided coil embolization was performed.
Results
Ten EUS-guided Nester coils were deployed until Doppler flow cessation was observed. Postprocedure endoscopy confirmed hemostasis, and hemoglobin levels stabilized. Follow-up endoscopy showed no active bleeding and shrinkage of gastric varices. The patient remained stable and was discharged 5 days postprocedure.
Conclusions
EUS-guided coil embolization is a safe and effective alternative for managing gastric varices in patients with high arterial embolization risk.
期刊介绍:
VideoGIE, an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, is an Open Access, online-only journal to serve patients with digestive diseases. VideoGIE publishes original, single-blinded peer-reviewed video case reports and case series of endoscopic procedures used in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive diseases. Videos demonstrate use of endoscopic systems, devices, and techniques; report outcomes of endoscopic interventions; and educate physicians and patients about gastrointestinal endoscopy. VideoGIE serves the educational needs of endoscopists in training as well as advanced endoscopists, endoscopy staff and industry, and patients. VideoGIE brings video commentaries from experts, legends, committees, and leadership of the society. Careful adherence to submission guidelines will avoid unnecessary delays, as incomplete submissions may be returned to the authors before initiation of the peer review process.
