Abstract    Peptic ulcer is still the main cause of non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding, while the incidence of bleeding from anti-thrombotic treatment is increasing rapidly. Because of the increasing age of the susceptible patients, efforts should be made to the risk stratification and organ protection with the ultimate goal of saving the patients instead of successful hemostasis. Endoscopy is the mainstay of treatment. But for patients with obvious lesions, resection still has its role in the definitive treatment.
