Gastric varices occur in 15% to 20% of patients with portal hypertension and are associated with significant GI bleeding and high mortality. Here, we report our experience with EUS-guided coil embolization and injection of absorbable gelatin sponge for the treatment of gastric varices (Video 1, available online at www. VideoGIE. org).A 51-year-old woman with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis and known type 1 gastric varices presented to the hospital with hematemesis. She was deemed not a suitable candidate for either transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration. It was, therefore, decided to offer EUS-guided treatment of her gastric varices (Fig. 1). On EUS, 4 large collections of gastric varices were visualized, each with multiple individual compartments measuring 7 to 12 mm in short axis. Multiple varices were seen to directly contact the surface of the gastric fundus.
