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.

Abstract

EUS-PCSS-T demonstrated superior variceal eradication, reduced procedural burden, and improved safety versus earlier techniques. While rebleeding/survival differences were non-significant, it represents a technically optimized approach for GOV-type EGVB secondary prophylaxis. Prospective validation warranted.
