Video Tip: Gastric Varices Coil and Glue Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Krishna Guram, an assistant professor of medicine, discusses the gastric versus coil and glue technique for treating gastric varices. He explains that gastric varices are different from esophageal varices due to multiple efferent vessels that feed and drain them. Traditional banding methods used for esophageal varices are not effective for gastric varices. A combination of tips, borto, or coil and glue can be used. The video also mentions a case study of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis and describes the process of using coil and glue to treat the varices. Tips and considerations for the procedure are also discussed. The video is sponsored by Braintree.
