Summary

Gastrointestinal vascular malformation (GIVM), which is an important cause of acute or chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, consequently is in dire of effective treatment. The investigators' previous study first confirmed thalidomide treatment of GIVM bleeding was safe and effective. This trial intends to investigate the efficiency of endoscopic intervention to the hemorrhage due to GIVM. What more, the research tends to suggest standardizing clinical paths for small bowel bleeding due to GIVM.

Conditions

  • Gastrointestinal Vascular Malformation

Interventions

DEVICE

balloon assisted enteroscopy

Patients with recurrent bleeding (\>2 times for one year) will undergo balloon assisted enteroscopy and be treated with endoscopic therapy if necessary. Currently available endoscopic modalities are argon laser, bipolar electrocoagulation (BiCAP), band ligation, cryotherapy, radiofrequency ablation and argon plasma coagulation (APC). Among these options, APC is the most promising.
