“…Clinical trials and case reports mainly discuss the use of Histoacryl ® for oral, tracheal-oesophageal and auricular area [10,12,[18][19][20]. Good biocompatibility and a successful outcome were always observed when the surgery Weld was little moist and only a small amount of Histoacryl ® was applied.…”

“…Despite this limited range of approved applications, there are reports which discuss a bonding of soft tissue. Thus, Histoacryl ® is used with variable success for gluing facial bone fractures, ossicles and haemostasis in the area of oesophageal varices and bleeding gastric ulcers as well as gluing micro-vascular anastomoses [10][11][12][13].…”

Acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is still associated with high mortality. Reducing the rebleeding rate is the major challenge in therapeutic endoscopy. The following article describes the indications, techniques and limitations of endoscopic treatment of upper GI bleeding. Endoscopic techniques such as endoscopic sclerotherapy (EIS), endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL), cyanoacrylate obliteration, argon plasma coagulation (APC), and the application of hemoclip are described and compared concerning their efficacy. The pros and cons of "second-look" endoscopy are discussed.

“…1 Endoscopic injection of Histoacryl (B. Braun Corp, Melsungen, Germany) can control bleeding in more than 80% of cases and has been proven to be an excellent treatment for gastric variceal bleeding. [1][2][3] However, it has the risk of complications such as systemic [4][5][6] or portal system embolization, [7][8][9][10] retrogastric abscess, 11 and fistula formation. 12 Herein we report a case of hepatic failure requiring transplantation caused by portal vein embolism after endoscopic injection of Histoacryl.…”
