Objective: To summarize the reoperation experiences in treatment of massive rebleeding after subtotal gastrectomy for bleeding gastroduodenal ulcer.
Methods: From 1980 to 2002, clinical data of 26 cases with massive rebleeding after subtotal gastrectomy for bleeding gastrorenal ulcer were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: Preoperative gastroscopy was performed in 6 cases, intraoperative gastroscopy in 11, and preoperative superselective angiography in 2 cases. Eleven cases with left ulcer or post- bulb ulcer bleeding underwent resection of the left ulcer or longitudinal incision of the duodenal descending part and direct hemostasis. Thirteen cases with anastomotic stoma bleeding underwent local suture hemostasis or resection of the stoma plus Billroth II or Roux- en- Y gastrojejunostomy. Two cases with gastric bleeding received reexcision of the stomach remnant. Twenty- four cases (92.3% ) were cured and 2 cases (7.7% ) died of gastric bleeding.
Conclusion: Preoperative superselective angiography and intraoperative gastroscopy are beneficial to clarify the bleeding position and causes for massive rebleeding after gastrectomy. It is very important to select proper operative method to prevent postoperative rebleeding.

Acute hemorrhagic rectal ulcer (AHRU) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. We present the case of a 74-year-old man who developed sudden massive hematochezia and hypotension during hospitalization for fever of unknown origin. He was known to have alcohol-related liver cirrhosis, hypoalbuminemia and coronary artery disease (CAD) and was on daily aspirin.

Article Synopsis
- Hemoptysis, the coughing up of blood, can stem from various serious underlying conditions, but often involves high-pressure bronchial arteries; Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is typically the first-line treatment despite varying long-term success rates.
- A 12-year-old boy with a history of massive hemoptysis underwent multiple BAEs and recent imaging confirmed the location of previous coils; however, he experienced another episode where traditional intervention was complicated by prior treatments.
- The medical team opted for a thoracoscopic approach, successfully isolating and ligating the problematic vessel, leading to the patient's stabilization and discharge after four days.

Acute aortic dissections are considered surgical emergencies because they are catastrophic bleeding events. The risk of bleeding is further increased if the patient requires anticoagulation for other comorbidities, such as a mechanical heart valve. This case study describes a 73-year-old gentleman who presented with massive hemoptysis due to an acute aortic dissection complicated by pulmonary hemorrhage in the context of previous aortic dissection with multiple repair surgeries and residual chronic aortic dissection.
