Overview
Treatment of Mallory-Weiss syndrome is usually supportive because persistent bleeding is uncommon. Injection of epinephrine or cauterization may be done to stop bleeding during endoscopy.
Medical Therapy
- Treatment of Mallory-Weiss syndrome is usually supportive because persistent bleeding is uncommon. Injection of epinephrine[1] or cauterization may be done to stop bleeding during endoscopy.
- In rare cases, embolization of the arteries supplying the region may be needed to stop the bleeding. If all methods fail, high gastrostomy can be done to ligate the bleeding vessel.
- Inhibitors of gastric secretion (PPI) can be given
- Antiemetics (eg, metoclopramide) are reserved for patients with persistent vomiting.
