Bleeding malignant gastric ulcer: successful endoscopic hemostasis with an over-the-scope clip

摘要

There are limited published data on the role of the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) in hemostasis from upper-GI tractneoplasia. 1 The use of OTSCs in other locations (ie,esophagus and colon) has been shown to be effective forrefractory GI bleeding 2,3 ; nonetheless, reports of the useof OTSCs in the setting of malignant bleeding in theselocations are also scarce. In the setting of refractory GIbleeding, the OTSC is a valuable tool and has beenshown to perform better than Padlock devices.
