“…In this study, the treatment success rate of 88 % is one of the best compared with previous retrospective studies 1 10 11 15 . In 3 case series with 22 10 , 10 11 , and 9 patients 15 , respectively, the concomitant presence of fistula with this technique has proven to be associated with a lower success rate. Notably, n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate polymer was used for glue embolization in the studies.…”

“…In many of these reports, n-butyl cyanoacrylate polymer or 2-octyl cyanoacrylate polymer was used via endoscopic injection 5 6 7 . We propose that alpha-cyanoacrylate (α-CA) monomer is ideal for glue embolization against intractable esophageal fistulas because α-CA monomer glue spreads faster and thus creates a bond more rapidly than the other polymer glues 1 10 11 . We previously demonstrated 4 case series with esophageal fistulas that were successfully treated with endoscopic injection of α-CA monomer 12 .…”

“…16 (b) Embolization with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate alone yields the highest failure rate as compared with the mixture cyanoacrylate + Lipiodol, or another combination therapy. 12,15,25 (c) Although traditionally associated to refractoriness with conventional therapy, Crohn's fistulae and those related to malignancy were successfully addressed with cyanoacrylate embolization therapy. 17,19,20 (d) Embolization should be considered as soon as the fistula is discovered, if at all possible, because patients treated earlier healed more rapidly and required fewer sessions.…”

“…Another retrospective study 25 of 2 patients with duodenocolonic and ileal pouch-vaginal fistulae arising from Crohn's disease and colonic malignancy, respectively, reported a cumulative success rate of 50% (Table 2). The patient with Crohn's fistula did not heal with the embolization therapy.…”
