Continuous Infusion Versus Intermittent Dosing with Pantoprazole for Gastric Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection.

Conclusions: Intermittent dosing with pantoprazole is sufficient and cost-effective for the prevention of gastric ESD-related bleeding. Operators should consider tumor characteristics when planning ESD to minimize the risk of intraprocedural bleeding, and patients with large iatrogenic ulcers should be carefully monitored for postprocedural bleeding.
