Bleeding duodenal hemangioma: Morphological changes and endoscopic mucosal resection

Endoscopic mucosal resection.

EMR has become an established therapeutic option for premalignant and early-stage GI malignancies, particularly in the esophagus and colon. EMR can also aid in the diagnosis and therapy of subepithelial lesions localized to the muscularis mucosa or submucosa. Several dedicated EMR devices are available to facilitate these procedures. Adverse event rates, particularly bleeding and perforation, a...

Endoscopic mucosal resection.

Line-assisted complete closure of duodenal mucosal defects after underwater endoscopic mucosal resection.

Duodenal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) carries a high risk of adverse events, including delayed perforation [1, 2]. Because complete clip closure of mucosal defects can reportedly prevent post-procedural adverse events in the colorectum, we established a line-assisted complete closure (LACC) technique for large mucosal defects after colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection [3]. LACC can be...

Efficacy and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection of non-ampullary duodenal polyps: a systematic review

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Data on the safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection of non-ampullary duodenal polyps are limited. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of sporadic non-ampullary duodenal polyps. METHODS Relevant studies for the meta-analysis were identified through search of PUBMED and EMBASE databases. Studies employing EMR for the managem...

Duodenal diverticular bleeding: an endoscopic challenge.

Duodenal diverticula are an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Until recently, it was primarily managed with surgery, but advances in the field of endoscopy have made management increasingly less invasive. We report a case of duodenal diverticular bleeding that was endoscopically managed, and review the literature about the various endoscopic therapies thus far described.
