New probe aims to stop post-polypectomy bleeding in high-risk patients
NCT ID NCT02875353
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special probe that checks blood flow in ulcers left after colon polyp removal. The goal is to see if using this probe to guide treatment can prevent delayed bleeding, especially in patients taking blood thinners or with large polyps. About 180 high-risk adults will be randomly assigned to either standard care or probe-guided care, and bleeding rates will be compared over 30 days.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Doppler endoscopic probe (a device that detects blood flow)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could become a standard tool to prevent dangerous delayed bleeding after colon polyp removal, especially for patients on blood thinners.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (180 participants) and the device may not reduce bleeding rates significantly compared to standard care. The procedure also carries its own minor risks.
