EUS-guided esophagogastric variceal obliteration: real-world cohort of three generation glue embolization (with video)

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EUS-guided embilization techniques for variceal obliteration in patients.
• Analyzed a cohort of patients undergoing EUS-guided variceal obliteration
• Compared the efficacy of glue embolization techniques to early procedures
• Monitored outcomes related to variceal eradication, rebleeding, and survival rates.
• EUS-PCSS-T showed superior variceal eradication compared to earlier techniques
• Reduced procedural burden and improved safety were noted
• No significant differences in rebleeding or survival outcomes were reported.
