[Cryoelectrocoagulation in acute gastroduodenal hemorrhages]

Separate and combined cryoelectrocoagulation in acute gastroduodenal bleeding is a fairly effective method of local hemostasis. The applied cryoagent--liquid freon induces local freezing of the stomach mucous membrane practically immediately. Initially gasiform freon cleans mechanically the bleeding site of blood, which facilitates considerably the following electrocoagulation or freezing with liquid freon.
