Overview

Therapeutic endoscopy is used to treat bleeding ulcer and recurrent ulcer.

Endoscopic therapy

Indications for endoscopic therapy

  • Patients with active spurting or oozing bleeding or a non-bleeding visible vessel[1]
  • Patients with an adherent clot resistant to vigorous irrigation

Endoscopic therapy can be done by following methods:[2]

  • Injection therapy:
    • Injection of diluted epinephrine (1:10,000) is commonly used[3]
    • injection of sclerosant (eg polidocanol, ethanolamine, and ethanol), fibrin sealant, and n-butyl cyanoacrylate [4][5][6]
  • Thermal coagulation:
    • Contact types :Heater probe, monopolar and bipolar electrocoagulation
    • Noncontact types :Laser treatment, argon plasma coagulation [APC][7]
  • Mechanical Devices:Endoclips and band ligation are used commonly[8][9]
  • Combined Therapy:Injection of diluted epinephrine followed by thermal coagulation[7]
  • Hemospray: Nanopowder with clotting abilities is sprayed onto the bleeding site.[10]

Second look endoscopy

  • Second look endoscopy is used to detect and retreat ulcers that are at risk of recurrent bleeding which reduces the number of episodes of recurrent bleeding and hence decrease the surgery necessary to treat recurrent bleeding[12][13]
  • It is usually done after 24 hours.

If bleeding occurs after a second endoscopic therapeutic session, surgery or interventional radiology with transcatheter arterial embolization is done.
