Abstract
- BACKGROUND/AIMS
Acute peptic ulcer bleeding is the most common cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and needs urgent management in cases including large amounts of blood loss. Ernergency endoscopy was performed and evaluation was made on the risk factors of rebleeding in peptic ulcer patients and the efficacy of ethanol injection therapy.
METHODS
The clinical and endoscopic variables were evaluated according to the rebleeding rates and the efficacy of ethanol injection therapy for hemostasis and prevention of rebleeding in 161 cases including gastric ulcers (GU) with bleeding (M: F 134: 27, mean age 56.5 years) and 136 cases including duodenal ulcers (DU) with bleeding (M: F 111: 25, mean age 40.7 years).
