- Abstract
Dieulafoy's disease is a rare and important cause of recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which can cause fatal gastrointestinal bleeding. We reported a patient with Dieulafoy's disease in both of the stomach and duodenum for the first time. The patient achieved no effective hemostasis after two endoscopic treatments and two arterial angiography embolizations. Finally, successful hemostasis was achieved through surgery. There are many endoscopic treatment methods, but there is no consensus on the best treatment for hemorrhagic Dieulafoy's disease. Surgery is only a last resort after the failure of endoscopic treatment and angiography embolization.
