Double gastric dieulafoy′s lesion treated with endoscopic band ligation

Abstract

Dieulafoy’s lesion is an uncommon cause of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleed. They are commonly seen in stomach and are usually single. Rarely, multiple DLs may cause clinically significant GI bleed. We report a rare case of upper GI bleed due to two DL along the lesser curvature of the stomach. Hemostasis was achieved by endoscopic band ligation. Patient did not have further recurrences and was asymptomatic after 2 years.
