MURCIO-PEREZ, Enrique et al. Endoscopic ultrasound guided cyanoacrylate gastro-renal shunt obliteration during fundic gastric varix therapy. Endoscopia [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.1, pp.28-30.  Epub Oct 04, 2021. ISSN 2444-6483.  https://doi.org/10.24875/end.20000011.

Gastric varices are present in about 20% of cirrhotic patients. Intravariceal cyanoacrylate injection is the first line endoscopic treatment for isolated gastric fundal varices (IGV-1). Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided therapy is a useful alternative. We present a case of EUS guided cyanoacrylate therapy of IGV-1, that also promote gastro-renal shunt obliteration.
