Abstract
GALVIS-GARCIA, Elymir S.; ZARATE-GUZMAN, Ángel M.; REDING-BERNAL, Arturo and SOBRINO-COSSIO, Sergio. Gastric variceal bleeding treated through endoscopic ultrasound-guided coiling and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate application. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, suppl.1, pp.15-24. Epub Jan 20, 2023. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000771.
Objective:
To evaluate efficacy and safety between dual angiotherapy (endocoil plus N-butyl-cyanoacrylate) guided by endoscopic ultrasound) versus N-butyl-cyanoacrylate in the secondary prophylaxis of gastroesophageal varices (GOV).
Method:
Prospective non-inferiority study comparing two gastric variceal eradication techniques. We evaluated technical and clinical success, GOV occlusion and eradication, rebleeding, reoperation, GOV-free period, complications, and mortality. Chi square for categorical variables and Student's t for numerical variables with a significance level of 0.05.
Results:
There were 68 patients (average age 55.5 ± 10 years, women 44 (64.7%) and average body mass index 25.7 ± 3.5 kg/m2). The most frequent cause was alcoholic steatohepatitis (58%). Dual therapy had greater technical (100% vs. 94.3%) and clinical (100% vs. 85%) success. Obliteration was faster (100 vs. 79.2%). This group only required one session. The GOV size was 24 ± 14 mm and 1-2 endocoils were placed. The median follow-up was 221 days. The reoperation-free rate was high (100% vs. 94%; p = 0.9).
Conclusions:
Dual angiotherapy guided by endoscopic ultrasound and cyanoacrylate injection are effective for the eradication of GOV without differences in adverse event rates.
