Core Tip Clip-assisted cyanoacrylate injection (Clip-ECI) is a safe, effective, and practical method for managing cardiofundal gastric varices, particularly in patients with gastrorenal shunts. Evidence from multicenter cohorts and a randomized trial shows comparable hemostasis to conventional and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided techniques, with a markedly lower risk of ectopic embolism. By restricting blood flow and improving variceal obliteration, clip-ECI reduces glue migration and often requires fewer sessions. Its shorter procedure time and lower cost make it ideal for centers with limited EUS resources.
