Résumé
Dieulafoy's lesions are uncommon causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) that pose a life-threatening risk if not diagnosed promptly and treated appropriately. These lesions are composed of enlarged submucosal blood vessels that bleed despite any gross abnormality. Early intervention with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is necessary to avoid more invasive treatment with angiogram embolization or surgical removal. This paper aims to discuss a case regarding a patient with difficult-to-control recurrent bleeding from a Dieulafoy's lesion located in the gastric fundus of a previously healthy 60-year-old female. This case highlights the need for dual therapy and special considerations regarding antiplatelet medications and supplements when treating patients with Dieulafoy's lesions.
