简介：
Overview
This protocol presents a novel endoscopic procedure, CISC, for the treatment of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) using cyanoacrylate and clips. The method aims to improve the effectiveness of sclerotherapy while minimizing complications.
Key Study Components
Area of Science
- Gastroenterology
- Endoscopy
- Hepatology
Background
- Gastroesophageal varices are a common complication in liver cirrhosis patients.
- Endoscopic sclerotherapy is a standard treatment but can have limitations.
- CISC combines cyanoacrylate injection with clips to enhance treatment efficacy.
- Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained for the procedure.
Purpose of Study
- To introduce and evaluate the CISC procedure for treating GEVs.
- To assess the effectiveness and safety of this combined approach.
- To document the outcomes in a clinical case study.
Methods Used
- Patient positioned under general anesthesia.
- Titanium clips were applied to control blood flow to varices.
- Cyanoacrylate was injected to occlude varices after sclerotherapy.
- Post-procedure care included antibiotics and dietary management.
Main Results
- The varices elimination rate reached nearly 100% at follow-up.
- No recurrence of bleeding or serious complications were reported.
- The procedure was deemed successful in managing GEVs.
Conclusions
- CISC is a promising endoscopic treatment for GEVs.
- This method may be considered a viable option for clinical hemostasis.
- Further studies are warranted to validate these findings.
What is CISC?
CISC stands for cyanoacrylate injection sclerotherapy assisted by clips, a new endoscopic procedure for treating gastroesophageal varices.
What are gastroesophageal varices?
Gastroesophageal varices are enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach that can bleed, often due to liver cirrhosis.
How effective is the CISC procedure?
The CISC procedure showed a nearly 100% elimination rate of varices in the studied case.
What precautions are taken after the procedure?
Post-procedure care includes antibiotics and a liquid diet starting on postoperative day two.
Is CISC safe?
In the reported case, there were no serious complications or recurrence of bleeding, indicating a favorable safety profile.
