A Comparison between Traumatic and Atraumatic Over-The-Scope-Clips in patients with Duodenal Ulcer Bleeding: a Retrospective Analysis with Propensity-Score-based Matching

The over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) substantially improved the endoscopic armamentarium for the treatment of severe gastrointestinal bleeding and can potentially overcome limitations of standard clips. Recent data indicated a superiority of OTSC in hemostasis as first and second line therapy. However, the impact of the OTSC design (traumatic (-t) or atraumatic (-a) type) in particular in duodenal ulcer bleeding has not been analyzed so far.
