[Duodenal angiodysplasia perforation after argon plasma therapy; solved with endoclips].

Abstract

The gastrointestinal perforation standard treatment secondary to endoscopic procedure is surgical reparation; some authors propose conservative management. Actual data suggest that endoclips could be used in a specific group of patients with gastrointestinal perforation related with an endoscopic therapy complication. Here, we describe a succesfull endoclips treatment of a duodenal perforation related with a bleeding angiodysplasia treated with argon plasma.
