U.S., July 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07699354) titled 'Cyanoacrylate Glue Versus Absorbable Gelatin Sponge for Gastric Varices' on July 05.
Brief Summary: This study compares two endoscopic ultrasound-guided treatments for gastric varices, which are enlarged veins in the stomach that can bleed. Both treatments use small coils placed into the varix. One group will receive coils with cyanoacrylate medical glue, and the other group will receive coils with absorbable gelatin sponge.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether absorbable gelatin sponge with coils is not worse than cyanoacrylate glue with coils for closing off gastric varices, and to compare safety outcomes. Participant...
