Management of nonvariceal upper GI hemorrhage.
Peptic ulcer disease remains the most common upper GI hemorrhagic diathesis, except, of course, for esophageal varices. But mucosal lesions such as vascular ectasias and superficial ulcers of Dieulafoy's disease are being increasingly recognized. Therapeutic endoscopic techniques, notably laser coagulation and injection sclerotherapy, may obviate surgery.
