Article Synopsis
- A 55-year-old man experienced severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to an ileal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), which was identified through CTA imaging.
- The tumor was surgically removed, resulting in stabilized hemoglobin levels, and was confirmed to be a low-grade GIST after pathology analysis.
- Clinically, GISTs are rare but important to consider in cases of unexplained gastrointestinal hemorrhage; effective imaging techniques like CTA are crucial for proper diagnosis.
Background: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a life-threatening medical emergency characterized by bleeding from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for upper gastrointestinal tract rebleeding among acute peptic ulcer patients.
Methods: This is a cohort clinical study conducted between July 2018 and June 2020.
