[Recurrent Bacteremia after Cyanoacrylate Sclerotherapy of Ectopic Duodenal Varices].

Sclerotherapy with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is the first-line endoscopic approach for gastric and ectopic variceal bleeding, but it can be associated with local or systemic complications. Episodes of transient bacteremia after the procedure are frequent, but documented cases of recurrent bacteremia are rare. The authors report a 47-year-old female patient with liver cirrhosis who underwent duodenal sclerotherapy with cyanoacrylate after upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

In this report, we discuss the case of a 65-year-old man with complaints of asthenia, anorexia, hypersudoresis, and a weight loss of 10 kg in the month prior to his presentation.
