Gastric varices are rare and are usually located in the fundic region. They present as thickened tortuous folds, covered by normal looking mucosa. Isolated fundic varices may be secondary to thrombosis of the splenic vein as a result of pancreatic diseases. Unlike oesophageal varices, fundic ones may only be treated with injection of tissue glue in order to minimise the risk of bleeding when the thrombus cast is expelled.

The extent to which these new tissue adhesives and hemostats will influence surgical procedures can be seen in the following analogy. An effective carpenter cannot create a masterpiece without a saw to cut wood, nails to ensure local fixation of separate pieces of wood, and glue to cause broad surface apposition between wood surfaces. Similarly, the surgeon presently uses a scalpel to cut and divide tissues as well as a suture to create local fixation of tissues, but until... 

Substances which function as tissue adhesives have the unique ability to remain in contact with tissues in localized areas for prolonged periods of time. Not only does the tissue adhesive function as a glue but it has the capacity to serve as a slow release mechanism for drug delivery as it is biodegraded. 

Poly(malic acid) is of pharmaceutical interest because its chemical derivatives may harbor both tissue-specific homing molecules and therapeutic effectors to be used for tissue (tumor) targeting in chemotherapy [2]. Because of its efficient production by fermentation, its biodegradability and nontoxicity, it is also considered as raw material in the industrial production of detergents, glues, and plastic materials. 

Glue is a brittle, hard solid at room temperature that, depending on the nature of the tissue from which it is derived, melts at about 120°C into a very viscous liquid. Also, when dissolved in water, glue forms viscous solutions. Both hot molten glue and solutions of glue in water are used as adhesives ...
