Refractory Gastrointestinal Bleeding due to Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumor Treated with Application of Hemostatic powder

Abstract

Hemostatic powder is a new hemostatic modality that is easy to use and covers a large surface area. It causes hemostasis by mechanical tamponade over the bleeding vessel and increases the concentration of the clotting factor. In this image, we report a case of gastric neuroendocrine bleeding presenting with refractory bleeding and hemostasis achieved with the endoscopic application of hemostatic powder.
