Summary
The non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding is defined as gastrointestinal bleeding
located proximal to the angle of Treitz, whose cause is not related to esophagogastric
varices or gastropathy of portal hypertension.
Animal studies showed no absorption in the GIT and disposal within 48 hours of application,
and no reported cases of obstruction. Recently, a prospective study involving 20 patients
with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, showed that the application of hemospray ® promoted
hemostasis in 95% of cases, confirmed by endoscopic revision 72h after application without
any complication.
