Doppler Ultrasound Probe (DUP) As a Guide to Endoscopic Hemostasis of Ulcers With Stigmata of Recent Hemorrhage (SRH)

For more than 3 decades endoscopic treatment (Rx) of peptic ulcer bleeding (PUBs) has depended upon SRH. However, these have significant interobserver variability & rates of rebleeding depend upon the size & blood flow of underlying vessels...

Endoscopic Doppler Ultrasound Guided Coagulation Could Prevent Delayed Hemorrhage From Ulcer After Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer: a Feasibility Study

After endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC), all visible exposed vessels were customary coagulated even if there was no evidence of bleeding at the end of procedure, however, delayed bleeding occur in some portions of patients (1.2-11.6%)...
