Dynamic functional clot formation in patients undergoing 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...

Predictors of Esophageal Stricture Formation Post Endoscopic Mucosal Resection

BACKGROUND/AIMS Stricture formation is a common complication after endoscopic mucosal resection. Predictors of stricture formation have not been well studied. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational, descriptive study by using a prospective endoscopic mucosal resection database in a tertiary referral center. For each patient, we extracted the age, sex, lesion size, use of ablative...

Imaging findings post colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection.

Endoscopic mucosal resection is commonly the treatment regime of choice for large sessile colonic polyps. We describe the computed tomography findings of a 51 year old female who presented with transient severe abdominal pain without systemic upset post endoscopic mucosal polyp resection, which resolved with conservative management. This is the second case in the literature that demonstrates 'n...

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection – A Comprehensive Review

Aiming at much better quality of life by similar mortality rates, research has been focused on developing of new techniques. EMR for early – stage esophagus, gastric and colorectal cancers, under strict control of several specific criteria, may replace conventional standard surgical treatment. It is well recognized that early detection of gastrointestinal cancers is one of the most important fa...
