Abstract:
Gastric cancer (GC) bleeding is typically silent and chronic. However, active bleeding from GC can lead to life-threatening conditions. Endoscopic haemostasis is sometimes difficult and emergency surgery is associated with high postoperative complication rates. We encountered two cases of life-threatening GC haemorrhage. The patients were successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization and subsequent elective laparoscopic total gastrectomy. Preoperative embolization is effective for subsequent minimally invasive elective surgery in patients with severe bleeding from GC.
