We have studied the endoscopical treatment of the bleeding from the tear of the esophagogastric junction in 34 cases from January 1985 to March 1992.
Electric coagulation has been done in 7 cases and rebleeding has been seen in 2 cases (28.6%) . One of them has got complete hemostasis by clipping. Clipping has been done in 6 cases and all of them have got complete hemostasis. So we believe that clipping is very effective in the treatment of bleeding from tear of the mucosa of the esophago-gastric junction. And the patient is allowed to eat soon after this procedure, so it is beneficial for the quality of life of the patient.
