Abstract

A 68-year-old male with liver cirrhosis presented with dizziness and dyspnea two days after endoscopic Histoacryl occlusion of gastric varicses. Imaging revealed a large endovascular embolization of Histoacryl glue, spanning from porto-caval collaterals via the inferior vena cava to the right atrium, partially occluding right atrial inflow. This case report describes the successful removal of this large net-like mass of Histoacryl glue using thrombectomy devices from the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. Postprocedure imaging showed near-complete clearance with residual fragments in the superior mesenteric vein and small emboli in the pulmonary arteries. The patient was discharged in stable condition. Histoacryl glue can cause severe complications if embolized. This case highlights the potential of advanced thrombectomy devices for managing embolic complications from endovascular treatments.
