| AIMS: Management of bleeding GIST is challenging, especially in metastatic disease. We report five cases of bleeding GIST successfully treated under EUS-guidance. METHODS: Patients characteristics, type of procedure and clinical outcome are shown in the Table. RESULTS: One adverse event was observed. An intratumoral bleeding after the punction of a 22G needle, successfully managed by EUS-guided deployment of a coil plus CYA. Clinical outcome in the five patients was uneventful until scheduled surgery was performed or palliative care in the fifth patient with a metastatic GIST with progression disease. CONCLUSIONS: EUS-guided therapy of bleeding GIST was effective in these five cases and could be another endoscopic procedure in bleeding GIST aiming to obtained hemostasis until scheduled surgical therapy or as palliative therapy without recurrence of bleeding. |
