Core Tip
Core tip: Gastric Dieulafoy’s disease, also known as gastric submucosal constant-diameter arterial malformation, can occur in any part of the digestive tract but is most common in the esophagus and within 6 cm of the gastroesophageal junction. The main symptoms of this disease are recurrent vomiting and tar-like stool. In severe cases, patients can develop hemorrhagic shock, and the mortality rate is high. We performed enlarged local endoscopic full-thickness resection of the gastric wall and abdominal constant-diameter artery with suturing of the gastric wall. We report a case diagnosed as Dieulafoy’s disease. This is the first case of Dieulafoy's disease treated by this method.
