A 28-year-old woman, with a history of liver transplantation with Roux-en-Y hepaticjejunostomy, was admitted for melena and severe anemia. Bidirectional endoscopy was normal. Capsule endoscopy demonstrated fresh blood in the efferent limb downstream of the jejuno-jejunostomy. Anterograde double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) showed an adherent clot with a visible vessel oozing next to the hepaticojejunostomy. Bleeding was treated firstly with argon plasma coagulation and endoclips and further treated with dual emission laser, achieving complete hemostasis. At the 3 months follow-up, hemoglobin was stable without evidence of re-bleeding.
