AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of using N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate to treat bleeding gastric varices in children, conducted at Liaquat National Hospital from 2010 to 2017.
- Thirty pediatric patients were treated, with 96.7% achieving primary hemostasis; however, 10% experienced re-bleeding, which was successfully managed with a second procedure.
- The results indicated that the procedure has a high success rate and is generally safe, though 10% of patients experienced mild complications, and there was one mortality due to sepsis.
Article Abstract
Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate in bleeding gastric varices in children.
Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Gastroenterology and Pediatric Surgery in Liaquat National Hospital Karachi between January 2010 and January 2017. Gastric fundal varices were obliterated in pediatric population with single shot of N-butyl-2 Cyanoacrylate 0.50ml diluted with 0.50ml of Lipoidal with use of forward-viewing video endoscope with 22-gauge needle. The primary outcome was primary hemostasis, Secondary outcome was complications, re-bleeding and mortality.
Results: Thirty patients was included in the study, 18(60%) were male with mean age of 7.12± 2.9 years. Non cirrhotic portal hypertension was the most common etiology in 15 (50%) patients, followed by liver cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis B and D co-infection in 6(20%) patients. Primary hemostasis was achieved in 29 (96.7%), while 3(10%) patients developed re-bleeding after 48 hours, and hemostasis was achieved after second session of endoscopic obliteration. Abdominal pain and fever developed in 3(10%) patients which was managed conservatively. Mortality was observed in 1(3%) of cases due to sepsis after shunt surgery.
Conclusion: Endoscopic fundal varix obliteration with N Butyl-2 cyanoacrylate was safe and effective in treatment of gastric variceal hemorrhage in children.

Glue in Lockdown Technique to Embolize Peripheral Arterial Aneurysms.
J Nippon Med Sch

Department of Radiology, Nippon Medical School.
As a blood flow control technique for embolization using glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate; NBCA) for peripheral artery aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm, we placed a vascular plug or coils at the proximal inflow vessel before glue injection. We describe this maneuver, which we call the glue in lockdown technique. Four peripheral aneurysms-two pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms, one pancreaticoduodenal arcade pseudoaneurysm, and one internal iliac artery aneurysm-deemed unsuitable for conventional embolization because of abnormal blood flow, coagulopathy, or anatomical complexity were embolized with our technique.

Purpose: This study investigated the long-term efficacy of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate-metacryloxysulpholane (NBCA-MS) for varicocele embolization (VE) without using a microcatheter.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on male patients who underwent VE with NBCA-MS for grade III-IV varicocele between January 2016 and December 2022. Patients were categorized by the catheter type used.

Scalp arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare vascular malformation that may present as a pulsatile scalp mass with complications like hemorrhage. We report a case of a large scalp AVF with recurrent bleeding, managed successfully with a multimodal approach. A 46-year-old man presented with a recurrently bleeding pulsatile scalp mass in the left temporal region, initially diagnosed as AVF following trauma.

This report details a 59-year-old female who underwent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy for early gastric cancer, followed by percutaneous embolization for esophagojejunal (EJ) anastomotic leakage. Despite initial percutaneous drainage for fluid accumulation at the EJ site, subsequent CT revealed significant anastomotic dehiscence.
