New technique aims to stop dangerous bleeding after colonoscopies
NCT ID NCT02875353
Summary
This study tests whether using a special probe to detect blood flow in ulcers left after colon polyp removal can help prevent delayed bleeding. High-risk patients (those on blood thinners or with large ulcers) were randomly assigned to receive either this monitoring with targeted treatment or standard care. Researchers followed patients for 30 days to compare bleeding rates between the two approaches.
