  • Title: [Mallory-Weiss syndrome as etiologic factor of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. A review of 142 cases].
    Author: Sánchez Bueno F, García Marcilla JA, Molina Martínez J, Candel Arenas MF, Pérez Abad JM, Parrilla Paricio P.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1990 Oct; 78(4):197-200. PubMed ID: 2083115.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of Mallory-Weiss syndrome was made in 142 patients with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage by early endoscopy. These patients represent 5.16% of all patients with haemorrhage treated in our unit over a period of ten years. Emergency surgery was needed in 13 due to persistent haemorrhage. In the remaining 129, conservative management sufficed to stop the bleeding. All patients receiving medical therapy survived while one of the surgically treated patients died of pulmonary thromboembolism in the early postoperative period.
