Mo1538 High Success Rate for Over-the-Scope Clip (OTSC) System in the Acute Management of GI Tract Perforations: a Single Center Experience

2015 
CRD at 2.3 years after the initial banding procedure. None of the 8 esophageal varices banding patients experienced a bleeding complication compared to 7 of the 52 EMR-RFA patients (13.5%), however this difference did not approach statistical significance (PZ0.58). Limitations: Retrospective analysis; small number of patients; limited follow up. Conclusions: HGD-BE can be safely managed with EBL, with diligent monitoring for post-procedure hemostasis however resolution of dysplasia and Barrett’s epithelium is rarely achieved with banding alone. Further study is needed to assess safety of multiband mucosectomy and RFA after completion of EVL eradication.
