Endoscopic band ligation and endoscopic hemoclip placement for patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome and active bleeding

Hemostatic efficacy and clinical outcome of endoscopic treatment of Dieulafoy's lesions: comparison of endoscopic hemoclip placement and endoscopic band ligation.

BACKGROUND The most suitable mechanical endoscopic hemostasis for a bleeding Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is not yet well established. OBJECTIVE To compare the hemostatic efficacy and clinical outcome of endoscopic hemoclip placement (EHP) and endoscopic band ligation (EBL). DESIGN Retrospective, single-center study. SETTING A tertiary-care referral university hospital. PATIENTS Sixty-six pa...

Endoscopic Management of Mallory-Weiss Tearing

Mallory-Weiss tearing (MWT) is a common cause of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Although the majority of patients with bleeding MWT require no intervention other than hemodynamic supports, spectrum of MWT is wide, and the condition sometimes results in a fatal outcome. Endoscopic management to stop the bleeding may be required during the index endoscopy, especially in those with ...

Endoscopic band ligation for colonic diverticular bleeding: possibility of standardization.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) has been used to achieve hemostasis in patients with colonic diverticular bleeding. The safety and effectiveness of EBL when performed by non-expert endoscopists have not been sufficiently verified. This study aimed to elucidate the feasibility of the EBL technique when performed by non-expert endoscopists and of considering EBL as a standard t...
