Abstract

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.
