Usefulness of novel self-assembling peptide hemostatic gel for post-endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation in a patient with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy

Abstract

In this case video, Tanisaka and colleagues demonstrate the usefulness of self-assembling peptide hemostatic gel for hemostasis after endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation in a patient with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy. They conclude that this case represents a good indication for this gel, as it facilitates hemostasis even in challenging cases.
