Decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC) is sometimes associated with the development of esophageal varices (EV) and gastric varices (GV). GV is less common than EV. One of the treatment methods for GV is the injection of glue into the varices, which can be complicated by the embolism of the glue into the pulmonary vessels called glue pulmonary embolism (GPE). Non-glue pulmonary embolism (NGPE) after treatment of gastric varices is not very commonly reported in the literature. Herein, we present a case of the development of non-GPE after the treatment of the GV with glue injection and coiling.
失代偿期肝硬化（DLC）有时与食管静脉曲张（EV）和胃静脉曲张（GV）的发生有关。GV比EV少见。GV的治疗方法之一是向曲张静脉内注射胶水，这可能会并发胶水栓塞到肺血管，称为胶水肺栓塞（GPE）。胃静脉曲张治疗后发生的非胶水肺栓塞（NGPE）在文献中报道并不常见。在此，我们报告一例在注射胶水和圈套治疗GV后发生非GPE的病例。
