496 a new endoluminal therapeutic platform: results of the first 519 interventions

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) allows en bloc removal of colon polyps and early colon cancer. Multiple studies have demonstrated the advantages of ESD versus endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). However, ESD is technically difficult, labor-intensive and time-consuming. We performed a single center, retrospective observational study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of a new endoluminal double balloon interventional platform (Lumendi LLC, Westport, CT) for colonic polyp resection.
