[Potential of endoscopic hemostasis in patients with gastroduodenal bleedings]

Abstract

The authors have analyzed their experiences with treatment of 61 patients using the method of endoscopic clipping: 24 of them had the source of bleeding in chronic ulcers of the duodenal bulb, 6 had chronic gastric ulcers, 15 had acute gastric ulcers, 2 had acute ulcers of the duodenal bulb, Mallory-Weiss syndrome was found in 2 patients, Dieulafoy syndrome in 10 patients and one patient had peptic ulcer of the gastro-entero-anastomosis. The endoscopic clipping was made in 11 patients, in 31 patients injections of adrenaline and coagulation were added, in 9 patients--coagulation only, in 2 patients--irrigation with caproferon, in 8--adrenaline injections. In 57 out of 61 patients reliable hemostasis was achieved.
