Use of over-the-scope clip for ulcer hemostasis after failure of both surgery and interventional therapy: A case report

This report offers a reasonable option for hemostasis after surgery and interventional treatment both fail. Patient concerns: A 47-year-old man with recurrent bleeding had undergone endoscopy, surgery, and interventional therapy; however, effective hemostasis was not achieved. Diagnosis: This patient's clinical manifestations and typical gastroscopic findings confirmed duodenal bulb ulcer with hemorrhage Interventions: A Billroth II + Bancroft operation, interventional treatment, and endoscopic hemostasis with an over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system were administered. Outcomes: The bleeding was successfully controlled, and the patient remained well during long-term follow-up. Lessons: The OTSC system can represent a reasonable option for ulcer hemostasis after surgery when other interventional therapies have failed.
