Efficacy of Endoscopic Tissue Adhesive in Patients with Gastrointestinal Tumor Bleeding.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastrointestinal tumors bleeding remains a significantly clinical challenge due to its resistance to conventional endoscopic hemostasis methods. While the efficacy of endoscopic tissue adhesives (ETA) in variceal bleeding has been established, its role in gastrointestinal tumor bleeding (GITB) remains ambiguous.

Aims

This study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of ETA in the treatment of GITB.

Methods

The study enrolled 30 patients with GITB who underwent hemostasis through Histoacryl® tissue glue injection. Hemostasis success rates, ETA-related adverse events, and re-bleeding rates were evaluated.

Results

ETA application achieved successful hemostasis at all tumor bleeding sites, with immediate hemostasis observed in all 30 (100.0%) p
