Abstract:To study the efficacy of three-way stopcock combined with endoscopic ultrasound-guided sandwich injection method of coil and tissue adhesive for gastric variceal bleeding, 48 patients with gastric variceal bleeding due to cirrhotic portal hypertension who intended to receive endoscopic ultrasound-guided sandwich injection method in Beijing Friendship Hospital Capital Medical University from September to November 2023 were included and divided into the test group (n=25, treated with three-way stopcock combined with sandwich injection method) and the control group (n=23, treated with traditional sandwich injection method) according to different treatment methods in the study. The primary outcome was injection needle blockage rate of tissue adhesive and second outcomes were the degree of gastric varices improvement, treatment time, endoscopist satisfaction and postoperative complications. The results showed a significant difference (P=0.032) in the occurrence of injection needle blockage between the test group (unobstructed/partially obstructed/completely obstructed, 20/4/1) and the control group (unobstructed/partially obstructed/completely obstructed, 10/8/5). The degree of gastric varices improvement in test group (markedly effective/effective/ineffective, 21/3/1 ) was much better than that in the control group (markedly effective/effective/ineffective, 11/9/3) with significant difference (P=0.026). The treatment time in the test group (43.6±2.8 min) was much shorter than that in the control group (63.0±3.5 min, t=-20.997, P<0.001). The endoscopist satisfaction was 92.0% (23/25) in the test group and 65.2% (15/23) in the control group with significant difference (P=0.033). Postoperative low fever occurred in 4 (16.0%) patients in the test group and 11 (47.8%) in the control group with significant difference (χ2=5.648, P=0.029). Application of three-way stopcock combined with sandwich injection method of coil and tissue adhesive in endoscopic ultrasound-guided treatment for gastric variceal bleeding can reduce injection needle blockage rate, improve procedure success rate, shorten treatment time and increase endoscopist satisfaction.
