“…Glue pulmonary embolism is an infrequent complication following endoscopic glue injection for the treatment of GV. The risk factors for the development of GPE include the size of the varix, the speed of injection, and the volume of the injection [ 6 ]. However, in our patient, the PE following the management of GV was found to be NGPE, which was confirmed by two separate radiologists.…”

Decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC) is sometimes associated with the development of esophageal varices (EV) and gastric varices (GV). GV is less common than EV. One of the treatment methods for GV is the injection of glue into the varices, which can be complicated by the embolism of the glue into the pulmonary vessels called glue pulmonary embolism (GPE). Non-glue pulmonary embolism (NGPE) after treatment of gastric varices is not very commonly reported in the literature. Herein, we present a case of the development of non-GPE after the treatment of the GV with glue injection and coiling.
