In two patients with bleeding gastric ulcer hemorrhage could be stopped by submucous infiltration around the lesion without any complication. This simple method using a selfconstructed needle seems to guarantee good results especially in bleeding little arteries. Infiltration was performed with a 1.5% solution of Aethoxysklerol (Kreussler, Wiesbaden-Biebrich) using 3-5 ml totally for treatment.
