Hemoclip-assisted endoscopic polypectomy of large superior duodenal angle polyp using a needle knife

Endoscopic polypectomy of a large polyp can be difficult due to inability to snare the polyp. The difficulty may increase when the polyp is located at turning corner of the bowel. We presented a case of a 3 cm-sized large pedunculated polyp located at the superior duodenal angle that was not amenable to conventional snare polypectomy, but was instead successfully resected by hemoclip-assisted and needle knife method. Such experience has not been reported in the English literature.
