Abstract

Gastric variceal bleeding management is challenging, especially in the pediatric population. Endoscopic cyanoacrylate glue injection is considered the standard for management of gastric varices but it is associated with a high rebleeding rate. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided placement of coils with cyanoacrylate is a newly available technique with a lower rebleeding rate but there are no reported cases using this technique in pediatric patients. We report on a 12-year-old child with liver cirrhosis and gastric variceal hemorrhage who was refractory to the endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection and in whom hemostasis was achieved without rebleeding following EUS-guided coiling and cyanoacrylate injection. Neither rebleeding nor varix reappearance was noted on 12-month follow-up. EUS-guided coiling and cyanoacrylate injection is safe and feasible in pediatric patients and could be considered as rescue therapy for treatment of refractory gastric variceal bleeding.
