Gastric varices occur in patients with portal hypertension, mostly secondary to liver cirrhosis. Although they bleed less frequently than oesophageal varices, gastric variceal bleeding tends to be more severe with reported higher mortality. Endoscopic variceal obliteration (EVO) by direct endoscopic injection (DEI) using tissue adhesives like glue, CYA or histoacryl demonstrated higher hemostasis and lower bleeding rates compared to band ligation or sclerotherapy. Nevertheless, CYA treatment is known to be associated with significant adverse events like para-variceal injection, hemorrhage from post injection ulcer, needle sticking in the varix, intra-peritoneal injection leading to peritonitis and adherence of the glue to the endoscope, fever, embolization into the renal vein, IVC, pulmonary or systemic vessels. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) offers unique access to abdominal arterial and venous vasculature. This has had the most clinical impact on the treatment of gastroesophageal varices, where EUS may play a role both in the management and can deliver therapy in the form of glue injection, endovascular coil placement or a combination of the two. EUS enables an assessment using Doppler to confirm vessel obliteration after treatment. However, targeting the perforating feeder vessel rather than the varix lumen itself may theoretically minimize the amount of CYA needed to achieve obliteration of GVs and thereby reduce the risk of embolization.
