Endoscopic band ligation could decrease recurrent bleeding in Mallory–Weiss syndrome as compared to haemostasis by hemoclips plus epinephrine

Abstract: SUMMARY BackgroundMallory-Weiss syndrome (MWS) with active bleeding at endoscopy may require endoscopic haemostasis the modalities of which are not welldefined.

“…Endoscopic treatment is the preferred choice of therapy in actively bleeding lacerations. Injection of various agents including epinephrine, ethanol and other sclerosants or band ligation and hemoclipping have all been used [3]. The mortality rate from Mallo-ry-Weiss syndrome was reported as 9.7%.…”

“…However, in the presence of ongoing active bleeding clips are preferred, though other devices such as band devices and electrocautery have also been reported[23,24]. The settings for bipolar and heater probes include 15-20 watts for 4 s and 15-20 joules for 3 pulses respectively.…”

“…Additionally, ABS has also anti-infective, anti-neoplastic, and wound healing properties, which contribute to restore and maintain tissue homeostasis (51). Its success in the treatment of ulcer bleeding has been reported in small series of adults and children (52,53). Endoclot ® Polysaccharide Hemostatic System (EndoClot Plus Inc, Santa Clara, California, United States) is the most recent hemostatic powder, consisting on starch-derived absorbable hemostatic polysaccharides, which absorbs water and concentrates clotting factors, platelets and red blood cells at the bleeding site (54).…”
