  • Title: [The place of endoscopic treatment in other causes of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage].
    Author: Lesur G.
    Journal: Presse Med; 2003 Feb 08; 32(5):233-4. PubMed ID: 12610468.
    Abstract:
    IN MALLORY-WEISS SYNDROME: With fissuring of the cardial area, probably subsequent to a rapid increase in intra-gastric pressure, hemorrhagic Mallory-Weiss syndrome may justify haemostatic endoscopic treatment. However, one should not forget that the majority of these syndromes usually regress spontaneously. IN DIEULAFOY'S ULCERS: Loss of substance destroying the muscle mucosa, Dieulafoy's ulcer would be at the origin of around 2% of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhages. Initial haemostasis can be obtained using endoscopic treatment in 85% of cases. The mechanical methods (clips, elastic ligature) are probably more effective than injections, but they are still under assessment.
