Overview

Acute upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding is a life-threatening incident in which a right diagnostic and therapeutic approach is necessary. Beside the standards in endoscopic hemostasis (adrenalin injection, hemostatic clips) there are some new technologies in endoscopic hemostasis.

Key words:
Haemospray – hemostasis – OVESCO clip – upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding
