Technical tips for EUS-guided embolization of varices and pseudoaneurysms
Post written by Radhika Chavan, MD, DNB, FASGE, FISG, from Ansh Clinic, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. In our article, we demonstrate the techniques of EUS-guided embolization of various vascular lesions, including gastric varices, ectopic varices, and pseudoaneurysms. We discuss 2 methods of EUS-guided embolization for gastric varices: (1) direct puncture of the varices and (2) feeder vessel …
