🌟 We are pleased to share our new publication in @GIE_Journal on risk factors of post-ERCP bleeding.

👉 26 studies with 149,870 total patients, identified predictors/risk factors post ercp and post sphincterotomy bleeding.

📈 ‼️🚨Male gender, anticoagulation therapy, cirrhosis, hemodialysis, coagulopathy, ES, precut sphincterotomy, and interaoperative bleeding were associated with higher odds of bleeding.

✅ high BMI, NSAIDs use, antiplatelets therapy, thrombocytopenia, CBD stones, cholangitis, EPBD, CSEMS insertion were not associated with higher odds of bleeding.

@AchintyaSinghMD Only if there's increased motility, not for all cases. Usually water is less stimulating than gas in the duodenum.

🔥 Check out 👇 study exploring #Outcomes of colonic #ESD in the West

➡️ Lesion selection is the 🔑
➡️ Need continuous efforts to optimize efficiency & safety for widespread adoption

Grateful to @drKumarGI for mentorship & guidance

We are excited to share our multicenter study on outcomes of ESD for rectal neoplasms extending to the dentate line!

📊 255 patients
👉 20 🇺🇸 centers
✅ En bloc resection: 93.7%
✅ R0 resection: 85.4%
🩹 Adverse events: 8.7%

Many great collaborators on our study posted by @RahulKarnaMD
A more recent larger propensity score matched study https://t.co/Ihdt9QNrQM in @endoscopyjrnl -> clip closure does not reduce delayed bleeding.
Colon ESD defect closure continues to be a🔥debate!

@DrBloodandGuts While in good experienced hands it's a great setting, spray coag has the capacity to cut the muscle. You have to be extremely careful to avoid touching the already cut submucosa. Soft coag is a much safer setting to use for everyone and can generate a smoother effect, IMO.
