| Core Tip |
Endoscopy has become a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic tool for gastrointestinal bleeding, effectively screening for gastric varices and achieving hemostasis. However, arteries can mimic varices, and their ruptures require multidisciplinary discussion and alternative therapeutic options. Gastric submucosal arterial dilation due to splenic artery occlusion constitutes an exceptionally rare cause of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). This is the first documented instance of UGIB originating from the left inferior phrenic artery. The study provides valuable insights into the clinical diagnosis and management of this rare and challenging condition. |
