Novel clip device for prevention of bleeding after endoscopic papillectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Recently, a novel clip device, SureClip^® (Micro-Tech Co. Ltd., Nanjing, China), has been developed, which improved rotation and reopening performance. We aimed to assess the efficacy of the SureClip^® in prophylactic closure of the mucosal break after endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for ampullary neoplasm.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 40 patients who underwent EP for ampullary neoplasms between October 2009 and March 2020. Prophylactic closure after resection was performed using the conventional clip between 2014 and 2018, and with the SureClip^® after 2019. The baseline characteristics, techniques, outcomes, and complications of EP were analyzed.

Results

The median age of the patients (25 males and
