An urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) demonstrated a 15-cm long, non-circumferential, deep submucosal tear (based on subjective assessment by the gastroenterologist) from mid- to distal esophagus with at least 3 spots of active arterial bleeding (Figure 1).
Endoscopic clips were placed to control bleeding.
