Endoscopic clipping for non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding

Öz

Background and Aims: Endoscopic clipping has been widely used for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It has been shown that hemostasis with endoscopic clipping is successful in bleeding peptic ulcers, Dieulafoy's lesions, and Mallory-Weiss tears. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic clipping in our endoscopy unit. Materials and Methods: Patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding were evaluated retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients were treated with endoscopic clipping. The etiology of bleeding, rebleeding rates, need for packed red blood cell transfusion, mortality rate, and the Rockall and Glasgow-Blatchford scores were noted. Results:The mean age of the patients (17 male, 10 female) was 58,7 years. Five patients had gastric ulcer (1 Forrest 1a, 2 Forrest 1b, 2 Forrest 2a), 10 patients duodenal ulcer (5 Forrest 1b, 5 Forrest 2a), 7 patients MalloryWeiss tears, and 4 patients Dieulafoy's lesion as the etiology of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. One patient had Forrest 2a duodenal ulcer and Mallory-Weiss tears. Two of the patients (7,4%) rebled. Nineteen patients needed packed red blood cell transfusion with a total of 72 units. The mean Rockall score was 2,9 and the mean Glasgow-Blatchford score was 8,5. Conclusions:Although our patient population was high-risk, the rebleeding rate was low, and none of the patients died.

Varis dışı üst GİS kanamalı hastalarda endoskopik klip uygulamalarımız

Öz

Giriş ve Amaç: Endoskopik klip uygulaması üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Kanayan peptik ülser, Dieulafoy lezyonu ve Mallory-Weiss yırtığında klip ile kanama kontrolünün sağlanabileceği gösterilmiştir. Biz bu çalışmada kliniğimizin üst gastrointestinal sistem kanamasında endoskopik klip uygulama verilerini değerlendirdik. Gereç ve Yöntem:Üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması nedeniyle yatırılan ve endoskopik klip uygulanan 27 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Klip uygulama nedenleri, tekrar kanama sıklığı, eritrosit süspansiyon ihtiyaçları, mortalite sıklığı, Rockall skoru ve Glasgow-Blatchford skoru değerlendirildi. Bulgular:Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların 17'si erkek, 10'u kadın idi ve yaş ortalaması 58,7 yıl olarak hesaplandı. Klip uygulanan 5 hastada gastrik ülser (1 hasta Forrest 1a, 2 hasta Forrest 1b, 2 hasta Forrest 2a); 10 hastada duodenal ülser (5 hasta Forrest 1b, 5 hasta Forrest 2a); 7 hastada Mallory-Weiss yırtığı ve 4 hastada Dieulafoy lezyonu üst gastrointestinal sistem kanamasının nedeni idi. Hastalardan birinde ise hem Forrest 2a duodenum ülseri hem de Mallory-Weiss yırtığı mevcuttu. 27 hastanın 2'sinde (%7,4) işlem sonrası takip sırasında kanama tekrarladı. Hastaların 19'unda (%70) eritrosit süspansyonu ihtiyacı oldu ve toplam 72 ünite ES verildi. Hastaların ortalama Rockall skoru 2,9 ve ortalama Glasgow-Blatchford skoru 8,5 idi. Sonuç: Prognoz açısından riskli olan hastalarımızda mortalite saptanmamış ve tekrar kanama riski düşük bulunmuştur.
