RESUMOA hemorragia digestiva alta não-varicosa ainda é uma frequente emergência médica, em especial nos pacientes com doença ulcerosa péptica. Estima-se uma incidência de até 99 casos por ano em 100.000 habitantes. Os locais de sangramento compreendem o esôfago, o estômago e o duodeno -porção acima do ligamento de Treitz. Embora a maioria dos episódios cesse espontaneamente, uma parcela expressiva de pacientes necessita de intervenção endoscópica. O presente estudo objetiva revisar as modalidades de terapia disponíveis por meio de endoscopia digestiva alta: injetáveis, termocoagulação, mecânicas, e mais recentemente, o hemospray; e dessa forma, avaliar a eficácia em termos de hemostasia, bem como as taxas de ressangramento e complicações. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: hemorragia digestiva alta não-varicosa; endoscopia digestiva alta; hemostase endoscópica. ABSTRACTThe nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding remains a common medical emergency, especially in patients with peptic ulcers. There is estimated an incidence of up 99 cases per year in 100.000 inhabitants. The sites of bleeding include the esophagus, stomach and duodenum -the portion above the ligament of Treitz. Although most episodes cease spontaneously, a significant proportion requires endoscopic intervention. This study aims to review the available modalities of endoscopic therapies: injection, thermocoagulation, mechanical, and more recently, hemospray; and thus, evaluate the effectiveness in terms os hemostasis, as well as the rates of rebleeding and complications.
