The role of endoscopic doppler probe in the management of bleeding peptic ulcers: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The endoscopic doppler probe (DOP-US) identifies arterial blood flow at the base to direct therapy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of the DOP- US in bleeding peptic ulcers. The use of the probe decreased rebleeding, mortality, and surgical intervention as compared to Forrest Classification.
