Overview
Overview
Angiography may be useful if bleeding persists and endoscopy fails to identify a bleeding site. As salvage therapy, embolization of the bleeding vessel can be as successful as emergent surgery in patients who have failed a second attempt of endoscopic therapy. Nuclear medicine scans may be useful to determine the area of active hemorrhage.
