Title: Mechanical Hemostasis Techniques in Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding. Author: Brock AS, Rockey DC. Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2015 Jul; 25(3):523-33. PubMed ID: 26142036. Abstract: One of the most important advances in gastroenterology has been the use of endoscopic hemostasis techniques to control nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly when high-risk stigmata are present. Several options are available, including injection therapy, sprays/topical agents, electrocautery, and mechanical methods. The method chosen depends on the nature of the lesion and experience of the endoscopist. This article reviews the available mechanical hemostatic modalities.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
