If you’re facing life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding due to gastric varices, esophageal varices, or other vascular lesions in the GI tract, Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West offers cutting-edge, minimally invasive solutions like endoscopic sclerotherapy and cyanoacrylate glue injection. These highly effective procedures—performed by our expert gastroenterologist—are designed to deliver fast, targeted bleeding control when time and precision matter most.
What is Endoscopic glue injection?
Endoscopic sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosant agent directly into bleeding varices (enlarged veins) within the GI tract, typically the esophagus. It causes the veins to shrink and scar, preventing further blood loss.
On the other hand, cyanoacrylate glue injection, also known as GI glue injection or endoscopic variceal glue therapy, uses a medical adhesive to instantly seal bleeding gastric varices. This endoscopic tissue adhesive creates a physical barrier to stop hemorrhaging, particularly in patients with portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis.
Both techniques are part of our endoscopic hemostatic injection protocol for managing upper GI bleeding, non-variceal bleeding, and variceal bleeding treatment.
When is Endoscopic Injection Therapy Needed?
These advanced endoscopic interventions are often performed as emergency or elective procedures for:
- Bleeding esophageal or gastric varices
- GI bleeding due to portal hypertension
- Non-variceal GI bleeding (e.g., ulcers or angiodysplasia)
- High-risk GI tract vascular lesions
- Recurring or uncontrolled hemorrhage post-surgery
Symptoms
If you or someone near you experiences the following, immediate intervention may be needed:
- Vomiting blood (hematemesis)
- Black, tarry stools (melena)
- Dizziness or fainting
- Severe abdominal pain
- Fatigue or anemia symptoms due to slow blood loss
- Known liver cirrhosis complications or history of GI varices

Diagnosis – Evaluating GI Bleeding in Andheri West
Before recommending glue injection or sclerotherapy, our gastroenterologist will perform:
- Upper GI endoscopy to locate and assess bleeding
- Imaging for vascular abnormalities (CT, Doppler if needed)
- Liver function tests, coagulation profile
- Pre-anesthetic evaluation for sedation
These diagnostics guide a safe and successful treatment plan.
Endoscopic Glue Injection & Sclerotherapy
Performed via endoscopic surgery, these procedures are minimally invasive, meaning no large incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
1.Endoscopic Sclerotherapy
- Scope is inserted into the esophagus
- A sclerosant solution is injected directly into or around the varix
- Repeated as needed over sessions
2.Cyanoacrylate Glue Injection
- Special glue is injected into gastric varices
- Rapid hardening seals the bleeding site
- Often combined with other hemostatic agents or endoscopic band ligation
These methods ensure bleeding is managed with minimal downtime and high success rates.
Precision Medicine
At Curis Life, we apply precision medicine to personalize bleeding control. Based on your liver function, variceal history, clotting profile, and splanchnic circulation, our approach adapts dynamically. This avoids unnecessary risks and improves long-term outcomes—especially in patients with liver cirrhosis.
