CLINICAL RESULTS OF ENDOSCOPIC HEMOSTASIS USING A SHORT TRANSPARENT HOOD AND SHORT HEMOCLIPS FOR NON‐VARICEAL UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING

Aim:  Endoscopic hemostasis using hemoclips is useful, but there are technical difficulties because the angle of the approach is tangential. A transparent hood facilitates the observation and treatment of these lesions, and a shorter hood provides a wider visible field. Endoscopic hemoclipping of hard lesions with hemoclips of the conventional size does not reliably result in sustained hemostasis because the clips slip. Short clips, however, can be easily clamped on protruded visible vessels without slip. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic hemostasis with a short transparent hood and short clips.
