[Diagnostic procedures in acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage].
In gastrointestinal bleeding, the diagnosis is predominantly made by endoscopy. However, if the bleeding site is in a part of the intestine that cannot be reached by endoscopy, than the diagnosis is based on radiological and scintigraphic methods. In the past 5 years 35 patients with such cases of gastrointestinal bleeding had angiography and/or scintigraphy (n = 15) in our department. Based on our retrospective study of those cases, we advocate a management protocol for such patients based on the hemodynamic presentation.
