Background/Aims: Bleeding from gastric varices (GVs) carries high morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has lately emerged as effective and safe modality for obliteration of GVs. We describe the safety and efficacy outcomes of EUS-obliteration for large gastric varices. Furthermore, we compare outcomes of procedures done for varices with/without prior bleeding, and with/without use of coils during the procedure.
