Abstract

Background: Blood loss from small bowel angiodysplasia is a frequent cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Push enteroscopy is currently the most widespread method for the endoscopic treatment of the small bowel. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has proven useful to arrest bleeding from angiodysplasia, but its effectiveness in the prevention of rebleeding has been poorly evaluated. Aim: To asses the effectiveness of the push enteroscopy and argon plasma coagulation in the prevention of recurrent bleeding due to small bowel angiodysplasia.
