  • Title: Imaging findings of extensive splenic infarction after cyanoacrylate injection for gastric varices--a case report.
    Author: Chan RS, Vijayananthan A, Kumar G, Hilmi IN.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2012 Aug; 67(4):424-5. PubMed ID: 23082456.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic injection of N-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is a widely accepted treatment for esophagogastric varices. This procedure is commonly associated with minor complications which include transient pyrexia and abdominal discomfort. Serious vascular complications secondary to systemic embolization of cyanoacrylate have rarely been reported. We describe the CT findings of extensive splenic infarction in a patient following cyanoacrylate injection for gastric varices.
