ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A 36-year-old male presented with dizziness and melena 5 years post laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Initial treatments with proton pump inhibitors and blood transfusions was followed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and CT angiography, identifying an active arterial bleed at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Super-selective celiac artery coil embolization successfully controlled the bleeding. This case highlights the importance of considering late-onset gastrointestinal bleeding as a potential complication post-LRYGB. Early diagnosis and intervention, including advanced radiological techniques, are crucial for successful management and optimal patient outcomes.
