Exploring hemostatic alternatives for Dieulafoy’s lesion

Cúrdia Gonçalves

Abstract

Dieulafoy’s lesion is an infrequent, but potentially life-threatening, vascular abnormality. Although the conventional hemostatic therapies are generally effective, rebleeding can occur in up to 40% of the cases. We report a case in which rebleeding from a Dieulafoy’s lesion was controlled with the hemostatic powder TC-325.
