Cúrdia Gonçalves T*, Barbosa M, Monteiro S, Magalhães J, Rosa B, Leite S, Cotter J

Dieulafoy’s lesion is an infrequent, but potentially life-threatening, vascular abnormality. Although the conventional hemostatic therapies are generally effective, rebleeding can occur in up to 40% of the cases. We report a case in which rebleeding from a Dieulafoy’s lesion was controlled with the hemostatic powder TC-325.
