Background and Aim Endoscopic papillectomy is a minimally invasive therapy for duodenal ampullary adenoma. We evaluated clip closure method for the prevention of delayed bleeding retrospectively.
Methods 53 Patients with ampullary adenoma who underwent endoscopic papillectomy were enrolled from 2012 to 2019. The incidence of adverse events and risk factors for delayed bleeding were evaluated using univariate analyses.
Results Delayed bleeding occurred in 7 patients. Sufficient closure using clips was a significant factor for the prevention of post-EP delayed bleeding (p=0.010).
Conclusions Ulcer closure after endoscopic papillectomy using clips should be used for the prevention of delayed bleeding.
