SECONDARY PREVENTION OF UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING IN LOW DOSE ASPIRIN USERS INFECTED WITHHELICOBACTER PYLORI
ABSTRACT Background: Aspirin even at low dose ( 100 mg) can increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is usual to use low dose aspirin for cardiovascular prophylaxis. We hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori eradication is as effective as omeprazole maintenance therapy for secondary prevention of bleeding in those who take low dose aspirin and are positive for Helicobacter pylor...
متن کاملObscure gastrointestinal bleeding due to small-bowel phlebectasias.
Phlebectasias or venous ectasias are rare benign vascular abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract [1]. They are vascular “malformations” with an abnormal endothelial lining and are thought to be congenital in origin, although the causes and etiological factors responsible for their occurrence are not clear. The lesions are usuallyasymptomatic; however, occasionally, they may present with ga...
متن کاملObscure Overt Gastrointestinal Bleeding Due To Isolated Small Bowel Angiomatosis.
Isolated small bowel angiomatosis is a rare entity with a distinctive endoscopic appearance. A multidisciplinary approach is often required to diagnose and treat these complex lesions. We present 2 cases of isolated small bowel angiomatosis, and illustrate the endoscopic findings that may guide similar diagnoses.
متن کاملUpper Gastrointestinal Mucosal Injury and Symptoms in Elderly Low-Dose Aspirin Users
Background. We investigated the prevalence, symptoms, and QOL impact of esophageal (EI), gastric (GI), and duodenal mucosal injury (DI) individually between low-dose aspirin (LDA) users and nonusers to reveal the clinical features of LDA-related mucosal injury. Methods. Data were extracted from the records of subjects who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at our department between Apri...

Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for approximately 5-10% of patients presenting with gastrointestinal haemorrhage. The majority of lesions responsible were found to be located in the small bowel. Currently, capsule en-doscopy is the first-line tool to investigate the small bowel as it is a non-invasive, feasible and simple procedure. Howe-ver, capsule endoscopy sometimes identifies th...
