Clinical data of the enrolled patients were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of EUS-guided intervention for gastric varices (GVs), including variceal obliteration and recurrence, as well as early and late rebleeding events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of four patients with SPH complicated with gastric variceal bleeding underwent EUS-guided treatment, including two males and two females, with a mean age of 35.8 years. The underlying cause was splenic vein occlusion, which was secondary to chronic pancreatitis in three patients and to a pancreatic mass in one patient. Surveillance endoscopy and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) performed at 3 months after treatment showed substantial reduction of gastric fundal varices in three patients, who subsequently completed telephone follow-up at 6 months and 1 year. No rebleeding occurred in these three patients. One female patient declined surveillance gastroscopy. 1 year post-procedure, she developed recurrent gastric variceal bleeding during the second trimester (15 weeks of gestation). No further bleeding was observed after endoscopic hemostasis. She underwent splenectomy half a year following uneventful delivery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
