ABSTRACT
Transarterial angiographic embolization using coils is an effective, common, and safe treatment for non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) refractory to endoscopic therapy/management. Coil migration is a complication that can lead to rebleeding. Our patient experienced UGIB due to a recurring duodenal ulcer with coil protrusion following previous embolization for a bleeding duodenal ulcer that was not responsive to endoscopic therapy. The ulceration was successfully managed with endoscopic partial coil removal and medical therapy to achieve hemostasis and ulcer healing. Endoscopists should be aware of coil embolization complications and consider endoscopic removal in the appropriate clinical setting.
