Abstract
Definitive diagnosis of the hemorrhagic site is essential for appropriate treatment. Endoscopic and angiographic advances are therapeutic alternatives to surgical resection. Endoscopic treatment is indicated in lesions with active bleeding or signs of recent hemorrhage. Arterial embolization can be a therapeutic alternative when arteriography shows active hemorrhage. Surgical treatment is reserved for patients with persistent bleeding in whom other options have failed.
