Abstract
We report a case of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding after silastic ring vertical gastroplasty. The bleeding originated from the staple-line at the insertion point of the silastic ring. A Sengstaken-Blakemore tube tamponaded the area of bleeding, by a new technique whereby the gastroscope was inserted through the gastrostomy orifice and used to guide the placement of the occluding balloon.
