Efficacy of Hemostasis by Soft Coagulation Using Endoscopic Hemostatic Forceps for Acute Peptic Ulcer Bleeding

Active Peptic Ulcer Disease/GI Bleeding Clinical Trial

Official title: Efficacy of Hemostasis by Soft Coagulation Using Endoscopic Hemostatic Forceps in Comparison With Argon Plasma Coagulation for Acute Peptic Ulcer Bleeding

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Endoscopic high-frequency soft coagulation is available for the management of bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels during endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, its efficacy on peptic ulcer bleeding has not been elucidated so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of hemostasis with soft coagulation using hemostatic forceps by comparing it with argon plasma coagulation (APC) in a prospective, randomized trial.
