Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the hemostatic efficacy and safety of endoscopic band ligation(EBL) and endoscopic hemoclip placement(EHP) for bleeding due to Dieulafoy lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
METHODS:Between February 2004 and October 2006, 34 patients with Dieulafoy lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract were prospectively enrolled,including 22 cases of lesions in the stomach,10 in gastrointestinal stoma,and 2 in duodenal, who were randomly assigned to undergo EBL (n=16) or EHP (n=18). The therapeutic results of these 2 groups were compared.
RESULTS:The median number of O-ring or hemoclip required in the EBL group and the EHP group was similar. The rate of primary haemostasis,recurrent bleeding,transfer into surgery, complications, and average stay and blood transfusion requirements did not significantly differ in the 2 groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION:In this study, no significant differences are detected in the efficacy and the safety of EBL vs. EHP for bleeding due to Dieulafoy lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
