A 36-year-old male presented with dizziness and melena 5 years post laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Initial treatments with proton pump inhibitors and blood transfusions was followed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and CT angiography, identifying an active arterial bleed at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Super-selective celiac artery coil embolization successfully controlled the bleeding. This case highlights the importance of considering late-onset gastrointestinal bleeding as a potential complication post-LRYGB. Early diagnosis and intervention, including advanced radiological techniques, are crucial for successful management and optimal patient outcomes.
一名36岁男性在腹腔镜Roux-en-Y胃旁路术(LRYGB)后5年出现头晕和黑便。最初使用质子泵抑制剂和输血治疗,随后进行了食管胃十二指肠镜检查(EGD)和CT血管造影,确定在胃空肠吻合处有活动性动脉出血。超选择性腹腔动脉线圈栓塞成功控制了出血。该病例强调了将迟发性胃肠道出血视为LRYGB术后潜在并发症的重要性。早期诊断和干预,包括先进的放射学技术,对于成功治疗和实现最佳患者预后至关重要。
