Abstract
Diffuse or multifocal superficial gastrointestinal bleeding can be treated by endoscopic laser, argon plasma coagulation, heater probe, or electrocoagulation. However, these methods need relatively expensive equipments and clinical experience. Recently, Alto Shooter (Kaigen Co, Ltd, Osaka, Japan) which can spray 100% sodium alginate was developed to control gastrointestinal bleeding as a topical therapy. We herein present a 47-year-old man with end stage renal disease in whom multiple superficial gastric antral bleeding was successfully managed by the use of Alto Shooter. This method is easy and relatively cheap to use and seems to control superficial bleeding effectively from vascular lesions or after endoscopic biopsy. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2001;22:431-434)
