  •   Objective  To investigate the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided coil placement combined with tissue adhesive injection in the treatment of gastric varices with spontaneous shunt.  Methods  A retrospective analysis was performed for the patients with acute gastric variceal bleeding and spontaneous portosystemic shunt who were hospitalized and received balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) combined with endoscopic tissue adhesive injection or EUS-guided coil placement combined with tissue adhesive injection in Xiangyang Central Hospital from March 2019 to September 2022. The two surgical procedures were compared in terms of efficacy (technical success rate, 5-day rebleeding rate, 1-year rebleeding rate, and time to rebleeding), safety (the incidence rate of ectopic embolism, the amount of tissue adhesive used, and the amount of lauromacrogol used), and cost-effectiveness (hospital costs and length of hospital stay). The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the rebleeding. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.  Results  A total of 25 patients received successful EUS-guided coil placement and tissue adhesive injection, with a technical success rate of 100%, a median amount of 2.5 mL tissue adhesive used, a median amount of 11.0 mL lauromacrogol used, a mean length of hospital stay of 14.88±3.21 days, a mean hospital cost of 32 660.00±4 602.07 yuan, and a 5-day rebleeding rate of 0%; among these patients, 2 were lost to follow-up, and 23 patients with complete follow-up data had an incidence rate of ectopic embolism of 0% and a median time to rebleeding of 689 days. A total of 14 patients underwent modified BRTO combined with endoscopic tissue adhesive injection, with a technical success rate of 100%; a median amount of 5.0 mL tissue adhesive used during surgery, which was significantly higher than that used in EUS (U=39.000, P<0.001); a median amount of 10.5 mL lauromacrogol used during surgery; a mean length of hospital stay of 15.38±4.94 days; a mean hospital cost of 57 583.47±18 955.40 yuan, which was significantly higher than that used in EUS (t=-6.310, P<0.001); a 5-day rebleeding rate of 0%. No patient was lost to follow-up, and all 14 patients had an incidence rate of ectopic embolism of 0% and a median time to rebleeding of 244.50 days, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=1.448, P=0.229).  Conclusion  EUS-guided coil placement combined with tissue adhesive injection is a relatively safe and effective technique for the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding and has a high technical success rate, a low incidence rate of serious adverse events, and similar efficacy to BRTO, with higher safety and cost-effectiveness.
