I will go step by step through my thoughts [#] and struggle.
This pt was transferred for IR embolization after re-bleeding after initial EGD (epi+clip)

The concern for thermal injury causing perforation is a real one. A delayed duodenal perforation is quite morbid. Examine the bed of the ulcer as well as you would an advanced adenoma.
Is there a perf here ?
If so OTSC is the one and only answer.

Excited to share our evaluation of the potential utility of ChatGPT in GERD management.
Mostly accurate & patients found it useful, though some limitations preclude its use in its current state.

Post Sphincterotomy bleeding is a bit stressful. Here are a variety of tools for hemostasis.
My algorithm is usually:
1. Soft coagg w/ tome
2. Balloon Tamponade
3. Epi injection
4. Clip (11mm Conmed Duraclip)
5. Cautery (bipolar or monopolar forceps)
6. FCSEMS
7. Hemospray
Great GI grand rounds by @Bashar_Qumseya on cold snare polypectomy:
👉🏼Most of polyps in practice should removed with cold snare
👉🏼Do not use cold snares on pedunculated polyps
👉🏼Cold EMR is gaining more attention as safer alternative
