EUS-guided embolization achieved short-term bleeding control in most duodenal tumor bleeding cases

The Use of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Embolization for Acute Duodenal Tumor-Related Bleeding: A Pilot Study (With Video).

Haiyan Li et al. · Digestive endoscopy : official journal of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society · 2026
Background

Acute gastrointestinal bleeding caused by duodenal tumors remains a clinical challenge.

Results
Share of procedures with successful bleeding control within 30 days
n = 12 patients
More results

Conventional endoscopic hemostasis has limited efficacy in preventing rebleeding, and surgical resection presents significant risks and is often not feasible.

In this study, we used EUS-VE for acute duodenal tumor-related bleeding.

More results

Among the 12 patients, the 90-day rebleeding and mortality events occurred in 1 (8.33%) and 3 (25%) patients, respectively.

Three patients (25%) developed fever after EUS-VE, including one case suspected to be procedure-related.

“
Conclusion

Its efficacy and safety require further validation with larger sample sizes.
