Measure
Doppler Endoscopic Probe Assisted Hemostasis
In addition to stigmata of hemorrhage and visual cues, Doppler endoscopic probe will be used for detection of blood flow before and after standard endoscopic hemostasis. If residual blood flow in the lesion is found after standard treatment, further endoscopic treatment will be applied as deemed safe by the investigator-endoscopist. Doppler endoscopic ultrasound probe is used for blood flow detection
Standard Endoscopic Hemostasis
Standard, visually guided endoscopic hemostasis based on visual cues of stigmata of hemorrhage and endoscopic control of bleeding or treatment of the stigmata according to current guidelines Standard endoscopic hemostasis: Per current treatment guidelines for non-variceal UGI lesions - based upon stigmata of hemorrhage \& visual cues for risk stratification and completion of endoscopic treatment.

Measure
Standard Non-variceal Group
n=76 Participants
Standard non-variceal treatment patient characteristics, risk factors and the primary outcome (rebleed with 30 days) were analyzed. Each specified variable and 30 day lesion rebleeding were compared between the two treatment groups separately by time period using the Chi-Square or Fisher exact tests (for categorical variables) or the Wilcoxon rank sum test (for continuous variables).
Doppler Non-variceal Group
n=72 Participants
Doppler non-variceal treatment patient characteristics, risk factors and the primary outcome (rebleed with 30 days) were analyzed. Each specified variable and 30 day lesion rebleeding were compared between the two treatment groups separately by time period using the Chi-Square or Fisher exact tests (for categorical variables) or the Wilcoxon rank sum test (for continuous variables).
Standard Variceal Group
n=47 Participants
Standard variceal treatment patient characteristics, risk factors and the primary outcome (rebleed with 30 days) were analyzed. Each specified variable and 30 day lesion rebleeding were compared between the two treatment groups separately by time period using the Chi-Square or Fisher exact tests (for categorical variables) or the Wilcoxon rank sum test (for continuous variables).
Doppler Variceal Group
n=40 Participants
Doppler variceal treatment patient characteristics, risk factors and the primary outcome (rebleed with 30 days) were analyzed. Each specified variable and 30 day lesion rebleeding were compared between the two treatment groups separately by time period using the Chi-Square or Fisher exact tests (for categorical variables) or the Wilcoxon rank sum test (for continuous variables).
