| Core Tip |
This meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials establishes that while endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and endoscopic variceal obturation (EVO) achieve similar initial hemostasis rates for gastric varices, EVO demonstrates superior long-term durability. Specifically, cyanoacrylate injection significantly reduces the risk of rebleeding compared to EVL without increasing overall mortality. These findings support prioritizing cyanoacrylate as the first-line intervention for gastric variceal hemorrhage, reserving EVL as an alternative only when resources for obturation are unavailable. |
