A total of 119 patients (January 1995-December 1996; 53 women, 66 men) with a medium age of 63.1 years were admitted to hospital with bleeding gastroduodenal ulcer. Emergency gastroduodenoscopy was performed immediately in all cases, sclerotherapy in 94 cases (78.9%). Control endoscopy was done routinely after 12-24 h; the recurrent bleeding rate amounted to 14.3%, mortality was 5%, and surgical intervention was necessary in 8.4% with a mortality of 40% (!).

Background: Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is a locoregional treatment for intrahepatic malignancies. HAIPs are surgically implanted, and the catheter tip is typically inserted into a ligated gastroduodenal artery stump. Potential complications at the catheter insertion site include dehiscence, pseudoaneurysm or extravasation, and adjacent hepatic arterial stenosis and thrombosis.

Gastrointestinal bleeding remains a frequent reason for emergency consultations, with a mortality rate that is still worrying despite advances in treatment. The most common cause is gastro-duodenal ulcers, mainly linked to Helicobacter pylori. Unusual causes such as gastroduodenal diverticular haemorrhage, a rare and serious complication, can also be detected during endoscopy.

Gallium-Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (Ga-FAPI) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly used for evaluating various epithelial neoplasms. Despite addressing some pitfalls, many remain unacknowledged. This report details a 77-year-old man with suspected pancreatic malignancy who underwent a Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan post-gastroduodenal coil embolization for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the long-term outcomes and changes in collateral blood circulation following intentional celiac artery embolization (CAE) during complex endovascular aortic repairs.
- Researchers analyzed data from 70 patients over 12 years, focusing on complications related to the mesenteric area and how they correlate with changes in collateral vessel size.
- Findings showed a significant rate of gastrointestinal complications within 90 days post-CAE, with a notable decrease in 2-year survival for patients experiencing these complications compared to those who did not.
