These ulcers had high risk stigmata of hemorrhage (Forrest Ia or Ib, 50.2 % and Forrest II a or IIb, 38.7 %).
All these studies, including ours, observed that intravenous high-dose pantoprazole treatment did not appear to be more effective at reducing rebleeding compared to a non-high-dose regimen among patients with high-risk stigmata.
7.Second-look EGD probably should be done when a high-risk stigmata has been observed (weak agreement).
The patient was diagnosed with IPMN with high-risk stigmata, and distal pancreatectomy (DP) with preservation of the spleen, namely MSPP, was performed.
In cysts that show high-risk stigmata, surgical management is recommended.
The risk of recurrent bleeding is increased in patients with high-risk stigmata found by endoscopy.
We performed endoscopic hemostasis for all patients with peptic ulcers and high-risk stigmata.
From January 2010 to Feb 2011, 126 patients were found to have the high-risk stigmata of active bleeding, or NBVV at Changhua Christian Hospital.
In high-risk stigmata, active bleeding was defined as continuous blood spurting (Forrest IA) or oozing (Forrest IB) from the ulcer base.
With respect to high-risk stigmata, active bleeding was defined as a continuous blood spurting (Forrest IA) or oozing (Forrest IB) from the ulcer base.
