The Application of Hemospray in Gastrointestinal Bleeding during Emergency Endoscopy
Table 3
Short-term success was defined as successful hemostasis during endoscopy persisting for at least 24 hours. Long-term success was defined as no further bleeding from the treated bleeding source within 30 days. One patient died during EE due to an aortoesophageal fistula. Three more patients died due to septic multiorganic failure during the hospital stay; one patient died due to liver failure following cirrhosis. These four fatalities were not linked to emergency endoscopy.
