Case report of a hemostatic clip being retained for 2 years after deployment.

摘要

The use of hemostatic clips in upper GI bleeding is a common mode of interventional therapy used by endos-copists worldwide. There exist strong data which advocates the use of dual intervention (either hemostatic clips or thermocoagulation together with injection) when faced with a bleeding ulcer compared with monotherapy with injections.According to the hemostatic clip product insert, the American College of Radiology, and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Safety Update (American Journal of Radiology), we should never assume MR compatibility or safety information about a device if it is not clearly documented in writina.
