Abstract
Hematemesis and/or melena are the most common presentations of upper g astrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic hemostasis after diagnosis still remains a challenge to the gastroenterologist. Most variceal and pepti c ulcer bleeding episodes stop spontaneously, and then prevention of r ebleeding might be indicated by endoscopic techniques. Four not so wel l known endoscopic hemostasis techniques are discussed and comparative studies are reviewed.
