Arterio-nodo-gastric fistula as an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Gastrointestinal bleeding is an emergency condition requiring immediate intervention.It is essential to localize the bleeding focus in the gastrointestinal tract using endoscopy.Lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer is common, but it is rare to fistulize the stomach wall.While there are various hemostatic methods available, embolization through the fistula can be highly beneficial.In cases of failed endoscopic hemostasis or hemodynamic instability, embolization could be useful but entails a risk of rebleeding.Therefore, the emergence of new technologies for hemostasis is anticipated.
