Core Tip	Endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate is currently the optimum, evidenced based approach to control active bleeding from gastric varices, apart from bleeding from gastro-oesophageal varice (GOV)-1 which can be treated with variceal band ligation. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (or balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in experienced units) can be effective for ongoing bleeding. Cyanoacrylate or transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt can prevent rebleeding from GOV-2 or isolated gastric varice, although variceal band ligation, cyanoacrylate or ?-blockers can be used after bleeding from GOV-1. Non-selective ?-blockers or cyanoacrylate may be used as primary prophylaxis in patients with known gastric varices, with the choice dependent on clinical and endoscopic findings.
