Preliminary exploration of the application of cyanoacrylate glue in Forrest IIa and IIb peptic ulcer hemorrhage
摘要
This study aims to preliminarily investigate the therapeutic effect of cyanoacrylate glue (CG) on Forrest IIa and IIb peptic ulcer hemorrhage (PCH).
MethodsFrom January 2020 to May 2024, we retrospectively collected data on patients with Forrest IIa and IIb PCH treated with CG using emergency endoscopic hemostasis at a single center and subsequently evaluated and compared the efficacy of CG with respect to ulcer location, Forrest staging, and ulcer size.
ResultsA total of 93 patients were enrolled, achieving 100% technical success without 24-h rebleeding. The rebleeding rate at 72 h was 1.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2–5.9%), and the rebleeding rate at 7 days was 2.2% (95% CI: 0.6–7.6%). The median age of the patients was 43.0 years. There were 42 patients (45.2%) with Forrest IIa ulcers and 51 patients (54.8%) with Forrest IIb ulcers. Sixty patients (64.5%) had ulcers ranging in size from 1.0 to 2.0 cm, while 33 patients (35.5%) had ulcers larger than 2.0 cm. The ulcers were located in the antrum (19 cases), angulus (38 cases), gastric body (11 cases), and duodenal bulb (25 cases). Median procedure time was 12.0 min, with duodenal PCH requiring significantly less time than stomach PCH (P < 0.05). CG treatment efficacy was comparable between Forrest IIa/IIb ulcers as well as across ulcer sizes (P > 0.05).
ConclusionsCG is particularly effective and safe for PCH located in the duodenal bulb, as well as for both Forrest IIa and IIb PCH.
