摘　　要：In this letter we comment on the article by Zhang et al published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 2024.We focus specifically on the management of gastric varices(GV),which is a significant consequence of portal hypertension,is currently advised to include beta-blocker therapy for primary prophylaxis and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for secondary prophylaxis or active bleeding.Although it has been studied,direct endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate glue has limitations,such as the inability to fully characterize GV endoscopically and the potential for distant glue embolism.In order to achieve this,endoscopic ultrasound has been used to support GV characterization,real-time therapy imaging,and Doppler obliteration verification.
