Abstract
Dieulafoy's vascular malformation may cause serious upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, The mucosal lesion is usually small, and precise location of th e lesion may therefore be difficult. We report a case of Dieulafoy's lesion successfully treated by endoscopic band ligation (EBL) where endoscopic ul trasonography (EUS), including Doppler examination, was applied for accurat e diagnosis, guiding EBL and control of treatment.
