Superselective arterial microcoil embolization for delayed bleeding after peroral endoscopic myotomy
2022
Overview
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been shown to be an effective treatment for achalasia and with few adverse events. Only a few cases of delayed bleeding have been described. This current case report describes a patient with delayed bleeding in the submucosal tunnel on the eighth day after POEM. The patient was a 21-year-old woman with a 4-month history of dysphagia, vomiting and excessive weight loss. Achalasia was diagnosed according to her symptoms, barium oesophagogram, oesophageal manometry and endoscopy examination. POEM was performed by an experienced operator. On the eighth day after POEM, the patient suddenly developed continuous haematemesis presented with vomiting of fresh blood and melena. An emergency exploratory esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed. A large number of blood clots were found at the wound and a long haematoma was found along the lining of the submucosal tunnel. Re-entry into the submucosal tunnel and exposure of the haemorrhagic site was attempted but failed because of severe submucosal tissue adhesion. An emergency angiography was undertaken and haemostasis was achieved with superselective arterial microcoil embolization.
