1Institute of Gastroenterology, Liver Diseases and Nutrition, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel.
Seventeen patients were treated with endoscopic hemoclip placement in order to arrest or prevent active bleeding. Eight patients were investigated for lower gastrointestinal problems, and 9 patients for upper gastrointestinal indications. Success rate was 100%. Application was relatively easy. Comparative studies with other modes of endoscopic hemostasis are needed.
