We herein report the use of endoscopic n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injections to obliterate a gastric varix, which led to cyanoacrylate embolisation in the splenic and portal veins in a single patient. Cyanoacrylate embolisation is a known but uncommonly reported complication of endoscopic sclerotherapy. This case report illustrates the successful management of this complication (i.e. cyanoacrylate embolisation in the splenic and portal veins) with anticoagulation and analyses the presentation and management of other cases of cyanoacrylate embolisation reported in the literature.
我们在此报告使用内镜下注射正丁基-2-氰基丙烯酸酯闭塞胃静脉曲张,此操作导致一名患者出现脾静脉和门静脉内的氰基丙烯酸酯栓塞。氰基丙烯酸酯栓塞是内镜硬化治疗一种已知但较少报道的并发症。本病例报告阐述了通过抗凝成功处理这一并发症(即脾静脉和门静脉内的氰基丙烯酸酯栓塞),并分析了文献中报道的其他氰基丙烯酸酯栓塞病例的表现及处理方法。
