The esophageal wall may be presented in its different anatomic layers to a degree of precision unattained by any other imaging procedure. Being important in the esophagus, both the upper rim of the tumor and the infiltration depth can this way be prognosed correctly to about 85%. In consequence, this allows proceedings appropriate to the tumor stage within the bounds of a multimodal therapeutic concept of esophagus carcinomas. Impressions of the esophagus caused by mediastinal tumors are safely distinguished from intramural tumors. Multiple biopsies to get an examination specimen from a deeper layer should be performed under no other conditions than after endoscopic ultrasonographic examination and just for special questions. In the differential diagnosis of achalasia and peptic stenosis of the esophagus, endoscopic ultrasonography proved to be less efficient. As for bronchial carcinomas, conclusive hints may be drawn from transesophageal and intratracheal ultrasonography. However, due to limited possibilities of judgment caused by air-containing structures these methods are not firmly established in the preoperative staging.</p>","PeriodicalId":77035,"journal":{"name":"Bildgebung = Imaging","volume":"62 Suppl 2 ","pages":"29-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19569081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides of age, concomitant diseases and bleeding activity, recurrent bleeding is the principal determinant of mortality in peptic ulcer bleeding. Obviously, there is still a considerable proportion of patients who cannot be successfully managed by endoscopic treatment alone. Therefore the identification of high-risk patients before rebleeding, an adequate early surgical intervention during a stable period after endoscopic haemostasis can prevent recurrent haemorrhage. Emergency endoscopy and, possibly, Doppler ultrasound provide prognostic relevant information allowing 'prospective' therapeutic decisions.
