Abstract | BACKGROUND: STUDY: RESULTS: acute variceal bleeding was controlled in all five patients with BC injections. Eradication of gastric varices was achieved in 27 (93.1%) patients (20 patients in 1 session, 4 patients in 2, and 3 patients in 3-6). Rebleeding occurred in three (10.3%) patients who responded to repeat BC injections. Complications related to the procedure occurred in two (6.9%) patients. In one patient, the needle became impacted into the tissue adhesive. This patient died 5 days later because of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. In the other patient, there was distal embolization. CONCLUSIONS:
