539 prophylactic clipping does not decrease post-polypectomy bleeding for colon polyps: a multicenter, open labeled, randomized controlled trial

Prophylactic clipping after polypectomy has often been used to prevent the post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB) for colon polyps. The efficacy of prophylactic clipping was reported in limited cases such as large polyp, pedunculated polyp, or patients receiving anticoagulant therapy, however, it is still controversial in general cases. The aim of the present study was to validate the efficacy of prophylactic clipping for the PPB in general cases.
