Abstract
Endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection is recommended for gastric variceal hemorrhage (GVH) as a means of achieving urgent endoscopic hemostasis [1] [2]. However, it can sometimes be technically difficult to secure the visual field because GVH produces a large amount of blood and bloody clots immediately fill the fundus. Gel immersion endoscopy (GIE) is useful for identification of the gastrointestinal bleeding point as it offers a secure visual field [3] [4] [5]. We report a case of successful hemostasis for GVH using cyanoacrylate injection under GIE ([Video 1]).
