Fatal gastroduodenal necrosis after injection sclerotherapy for bleeding duodenal ulcer

P A Goldberg et al. J Clin Gastroenterol. 1993 Mar.

Abstract

Complications after endoscopic injection therapy to control bleeding from peptic ulcers are uncommon and rarely fatal. We report a case of fatal gastroduodenal necrosis and postulate that accidental intra-arterial injection may be responsible for this event.
