Popis: Endoscopy, barium studies and angiography are all valuable diagnostic procedures in gastrointestinal bleeding. They are not mutually exclusive procedures but the correct sequence of investigation varies. Correct localization can be achieved in 84% of cases of massive gastrointestinal bleeding by their combined use. Vasoconstrictive therapy is also possible in severely ill patients and other poor surgical risk candidates.
