Background: Recurrent bleeding after successful primary endoscopic hemostasis of acutely bleeding ulcers is a significant problem.This study evaluates endoscopic Doppler ultrasound (US) in assessing risk of recurrent bleeding in patients presenting with acute peptic ulcer hemorrhage. Methods: In thi...
