摘　　要：TO THE EDITORWe read with interest the article entitled ＂Bleeding gastric varices： Results of endoscopic injection with cyanoacrylate at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital＂ by Noophun et al. They performed n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate （CA） injection therapy for bleeding gastric varices in twentyfour patients, and hemostasis was achieved in seventeen （71%） patients. They concluded that CA injection therapy was effective and safe for bleeding gastric varices. However, we disagreed with the author＇s conclusion.
