Aims: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous transhepatic antegrade embolization (PTAE) with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate assisted with balloon occlusion of the left renal vein or gastrorenal shunts (GRSs) for the treatment of isolated gastric varices (IGVs) with large GRSs.
Methods: Thirty patients with IGVs associated with large GRSs who had underwent PTAE assisted with a balloon to block the opening of the GRS in the left renal vein were retrospectively evaluated and followed up. Clinical and laboratory data were collected to evaluate the technical success of the procedure, complications, changes in the liver function using Child-Pugh scores, worsening of the esophageal varices, the rebleeding rate, and survival. Laboratory data obtained before and after PTAE were compared (paired-sample test).
Results: PTAE was technically successful in all 30 patients. No serious complications were observed except for one nonsymptomatic pulmonary embolism. During a mean follow-up of 30 months, rebleeding was observed in 4/30 (13.3%) patients, worsening of esophageal varices was observed in 4/30 (13.3%) patients, and newly developed or aggravated ascites were observed on CT in 3/30 (10%) patients. Significant improvement was observed in Child-Pugh scores (p=0.009) and the international normalized ratio (INR) (p=0.004) at 3 months after PTAE. The cumulative survival rates at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 96.3%, 96.3%, 79.9%, and 79.9%, respectively.
Conclusion: Balloon-assisted PTAE with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate is technically feasible, safe, and effective for the treatment of IGV associated with a large GRS.

Tissue adhesives are increasingly being used as alternatives to traditional sutures and staples in surgical incision closure applications. Exofin Fusion, a novel cyanoacrylate-based adhesive with a mesh, has been developed to enhance surgical incision closure. This study investigates the microbial barrier effectiveness of Exofin Fusion.

Background: Skin adhesives containing 2-ocyl cyanoacrylate are a common source of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) that complicate postoperative wound healing. There are limited studies that describe postoperative cutaneous reactions to skin adhesives and clinical management.
Objectives: To review the incidence, description, and clinical management of surgical site ACD to 2-ocyl cyanoacrylate.

Unlabelled: Neonates often require vascular access devices for medication or fluid therapy, but a third of devices fail before treatment completion or end with a complication. For adults and children, securing these devices with tissue adhesive (TA) increases the dwell and reduces complications. However, there is a lack of evidence for the neonatal population.

Article Synopsis
- Cyanoacrylate-based adhesives are commonly used for wound closure, offering good cosmetic outcomes and minimal discomfort, but they may release harmful chemicals during biodegradation.
- The study evaluated four types of cyanoacrylate adhesives and nylon stitches on skin incisions in 140 animals, finding that n-2-octyl-cyanoacrylate (G4) resulted in faster wound closure, while nylon stitches (G5) showed initially greater strength but decreased over time.
- Overall, cyanoacrylate adhesives led to less inflammation and quicker healing compared to nylon sutures, with varying effects on cell response and collagen types among the groups studied.
Comparative study of the direct closure of surgical incision for external dacryocystorhinostomy using 6-0 Prolene versus Dermabond ®.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to compare closure of the incision for external dacryocystorhinostomy (ext-DCR) by suturing with 6-0 Prolene versus closure with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and assess the results in terms of the aesthetic and functional aspects of the scar, operating time, postoperative symptoms and complications, and the economic cost of the two techniques.
Methods: Sixty-three patients with distal lacrimal obstruction and indication of ext-DCR were initially enrolled in a longitudinal prospective cohort study. Patients underwent ophthalmologic evaluations including lacrimal probing, external examination with photograph, measurement of the surgical wound, timing the cutaneous closure phase of the surgery, recording postoperative wound pain using visual analog scale (VAS), and recording the patient's and clinician's subjective satisfaction with the scar using Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) at 6 months postsurgery.
