Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is still a subject much discussed as much for the diagnostic approach and as by the therapeutic decisions read. The authors present their experience of the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding not caused by portal hypertension or by neoplasm. The patients undergo emergency endoscopy by haemostatic treatment if necessary and pharmacological therapy by omeprazole. The evaluation criteria are: stopped bleeding, the need of blood transfusion, the healing of the bleeding site. Stopped bleeding has been watched at first endoscopic check in 85% of patients; only 26 blood units has been necessary; the complete healing of bleeding injury happened not later than 30 days.
