“…Wolfsen et al reported that complications after diagnostic gastroscopy were related to anesthesia in only 2 of the 11.114 patients with or without biopsy. There have been reports concerning rare or severe complications, such as bleeding, perforation, aspiration pneumonia, and Mallory-Weiss syndrome (15)(16)(17)(18). Many minor adverse post-gastroscopy reactions which had no life-threatening consequences, but however brought down the quality of life were disregarded.…”

“…53 In one series, there were no observed GI perforations in 9,000 endoscopic diagnostic procedures. 54 In a comparable study involving 10,049 patients, Daniel 2 reported a 0.02% incidence of bleeding associated with blind TEE probe insertion and no esophageal perforation.…”

Purpose: The use of transesophageal echocardiography has increased over the past several years. It is generally considered a safe diagnostic and monitoring tool. Whereas complications associated with echocardiographic examination rarely occur, such complications must be known to echocardiographers performing these examinations. The purpose of this review is to summarize potential complications associated with transesophageal echocardiography. Sources:A systematic search of the English and French literature was undertaken using PubMed from the National Library of Medicine. Relevant articles were obtained from a Medline search spanning the years 1975 -2007, and their reference lists were used to retrieve additional articles. Principal findings:Complications of transesophageal echocardiography are primarily related to the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, and include infection, toxic drug reaction, local reaction through contamination of the probe, and ultrasound cavitation. Strategies to prevent these complications are reviewed. Conclusion:Whereas transesophageal echocardiography is associated with a low complication rate, the echocardiographer must be knowledgeable about the types of complications and their predisposing factors, and should be meticulous in preventing their occurrence.

“…Although the procedure is relatively quick and safe, it does have a complication rate of about 1.3-2.4 per 1000 procedures [1,2]. Few studies have examined the serious complications of upper GI endoscopy; these complications may include respiratory compromise and hypoxia, perforations in the hypopharynx, esophagus, stomach and duodenum, post-biopsy gastric and duodenal wall hematomas and bleeding from an ulcer biopsy [3].…”

In addition, reported complication rates at 30 days are higher for therapeutic studies when compared to diagnostic studies [1].…”

The rate of complications for upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is about 1.3-2.4 per 1000 procedures, and these complications range from perforations of the hypopharynx, esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, and include Hypoxia, postbiopsy gastric wall hematomas, and duodenal wall post-polypectomy bleeding. A 71 year old female was presented to the emergency room with a complaint of melena and dizziness after undergoing upper GI endoscopy for evaluation of chronic abdominal pain, and was later found to have a hemoglobin of 6.7 g/ dL. Repeat upper GI endoscopy revealed several linear erosions in the body and antrum of the stomach consistent with prior biopsy sites. One of these sites had a protruding non-bleeding visible vessel, which was treated endoscopically with a hemoclip. The patient was subsequently monitored for 48 hours without any signs of bleeding and with stable hemoglobin.
