Abstract

A 82-year-old-woman was hospitalized because of the hemorrhagic small intestinal an-giodysplasia with general malaise. On emergent gastrointestinal fiberscopy, we formed a duodenal vascular ectasia with two bleeding spots among several vascular ectasia at the superior duodenal angle. We successfully treated the two hemorrhagic vascular ectasia using a ligating device for endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL). Permanent hemostasis was obtained with one procedure with out side effects. EVL appeared to be useful for small hemorrhagic lesions of small intestine.
