Case Reports
Images of the month 1: Histoacryl glue embolisation to the right ventricle following treatment for gastric varices.
A 46-year-old woman presented with decompensated liver disease. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated a gastric fundal varix with stigmata of recent bleeding. She was treated with Histoacryl glue and lipiodol injection. ⋯ The mass was initially assumed to be thrombus, but as the clinical story did not fit with this, she had further investigations. Computed tomography found the mass to be very radio-opaque with embolisation into the right lung. This is a rare appearance of glue embolisation, a recognised complication of treatment with Histoacryl glue.
