Abstract
Bleeding from gastric varices is relatively common and can be life threatening. The optimal treatment strategy for gastric variceal hemorrhage is controversial. Both interventional radiology and endoscopic therapies require a high level of clinical expertise. Which type of therapy is best? A recent study compared endoscopic cyanoacrylate glue injection with the insertion of a transjuglar intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.Entities:
