Case description

Gastric Ulcerated Varix In order to perform a therapeutic hemostasis Argon plasma coagulation was used, but it caused an impressive bleeding to stop this hemorrhage a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube had to be placed using the gastric balloon. Retrospectively, I would prefer using a rubber band ligation combining with histoacryl to obliterate this large vessel.
