“…Common causes of GIB include ulcers, esophageal varices, vascular malformations, and malignancy [1]. Various therapy techniques exist to achieve hemostasis; however, current conventional endoscopic treatments provide unsatisfactory outcomes in upper GIB due to tumor [2]. Hemospray TC-325 (Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC, USA) is a powder agent, which is a promising therapy for hemostasis in upper GIB from a tumor [3].…”

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a common cause of hospitalization and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The most frequent causes of nonvariceal upper GIB are peptic ulcers, mucosal erosions, Mallory-Weiss tears, and malignancy. Current endoscopic hemostatic methods, including injections, thermal and mechanical modalities, have a 5%-10% chance of recurrent bleeding. Hemospray (Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC, USA) is a recently approved modality and can help treat tumor-related GIB. We present a case of a patient with diffuse large B-cell gastric lymphoma who presented with tumor-related GIB. His clinical course was complicated by gastric perforation and active bleeding which was treated with Hemospray and over-the-scope clips (OTSC, Ovesco, Tübingen, Germany).
