Technical tips for EUS-guided embolization of varices and pseudoaneurysms.
Review in VideoGIE : an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Backgrounds and Aims: EUS-guided vascular intervention has expanded the horizons of diagnostic as well as therapeutic interventions for vascular pathology. EUS-guided embolization is a commonly performed technique for the treatment of gastric varices. However, there is a lack of data on the standardization of the technique. Here, we review the techniques and difficulties encountered during EUS-guided embolization of varices and pseudoaneurysms. Methods: This article and accompanying video describe the EUS-guided embolization techniques for various vascular lesions. EUS-guided embolization was achieved by combination therapy using coils and cyanoacrylate. Complete obliteration of the lesions was documented on follow-up. The existing literature of EUS-guided embolization therapy is also reviewed. Results: Patients with various vascular lesions, including gastric varices, ectopic duodenal varices, and splenic artery pseudoaneurysms, were successfully treated with EUS-guided coil plus cyanoacrylate injection. Patients with gastric varices underwent treatment with 2 EUS-guided techniques: (1) direct puncture of the varix and embolization and (2) feeder vessel embolization. Following embolization, the absence of Doppler flow within the varix and pseudoaneurysm was documented. Conclusions: Techniques of EUS-guided embolization of varices and pseudoaneurysms are demonstrated. Understanding the techniques and the challenges encountered during therapy is crucial to optimize outcomes and reduce adverse events.
