ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate injection therapy for gastric variceal bleeding and to find out the factors related to clinical outcome.METHODS:
Sixty-seven patients treated with n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate injection therapy for gastric variceal bleeding were retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS:
Initial hemostasis was achieved in all 12 patients. Success of therapy was achieved in 88% of the patients. A stepwise logistic regression analysis including age, sex, cause of cirrhosis, Child-Pugh class, variceal form, bleeding site, initial hemoglobin, and presence of hepatocellular carcinoma as variables indicated that only the Child-Pugh class was an independent predictive factor of treatment failure. Rebleeding occurred in 19% of the patients during the 4 weeks after therapy. The cumulative probability of 4-week remaining free of rebleeding was significantly higher in Child-Pugh A and B than in Child-Pugh C. Mortality at 4 weeks was 15%. The Child-Pugh class and the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma were the independent predictive factors of mortality at 4 weeks.CONCLUSIONS:
N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate injection therapy is highly effective in the management of bleeding from gastric varices. Child-Pugh class is an important predictive factor of treatment failure, rebleeding, and survival after the therapy.
