Cyanoacrylates hepatic artery

Embolism of cyanoacrylate occurred in an 87-year-old man occurred 5 days after injection of a bleeding duodenal ulcer with a 5 3 mixture of enbucrilate and lipiodol [25 ]. A CT scan showed linear opacification of the common hepatic artery, its right branch, some splenic branches, and lesions in the head of the pancreas suggestive of infarction.

A 62-year-old man had bleeding gastric varices injected with enbucrilate (Histoacryl ) and 4 weeks later developed hepatic impairment associated with cyanoacrylate in the aorta and iliac arteries [39 ]. He then developed a diffuse ascending spondylodiscitis, with osteolysis of the fifth lumbar vertebra, probably as a result of septic emboli and died 10 months later.
