Outpatient management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding: A new perspective in high-risk patients

Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial

Abstract

Mid-gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for approximately 5%-10% of all gastrointestinal bleeding cases, and vascular lesions represent the most frequent cause. The rebleeding rate for these lesions is quite high (about 42%). We hereby recommend that scheduled outpatient management of these patients could reduce the risk of rebleeding episodes.
