The VTI Endoscopic Doppler
System is a sound breakthrough in the treatment of
acute peptic ulcer hemorrhage. By incorporating a probe that can
be passed down a 2.8mm or larger endoscopic channel, this system
identifies persistent blood flow in an ulcer base after hemostatic
treatment. Clinical studies demonstrate that ulcers that are Doppler
positive after treatment are at significantly increased risk for
recurrent hemorrhage. With this previously unattainable marker,
endoscopists can now make immediate clinical judgements about the
need for additional therapy.
Doppler Applications
Acute Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage
Additional GI Applications
Prior to removal of large polyps
Evaluation of vascular malformations
(ex. Diuelafoy’s lesion)
Evaluation of varices
Prior to complicated sphincterotomy
