NCT00735358

Brief Summary

The recent practice guideline recommends endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate (GVO) is the preferred method to treat acute gastric variceal bleeding. The rebleeding rate remains high following GVO.We hypothesized that a double-dose of cyanoacrylate may obliterate the varices more effectively and achieve better hemostasis.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:
