Abstract
Over the last 20 years, endoscopic hemostasis has become the primary method of controlling acute, overt upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH) and prevent rebleeding. Although uncommon, procedure-related complications may occur. This article reviews the risks attributable to endoscopic hemostasis in acute UGIH and how to help prevent these complications.
