Use of a novel self-assembling hemostatic gel as a complementary therapeutic tool for endoscopic sphincterotomy-related bleeding

Kenjiro Yamamoto et al. J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci. 2022 Sep.

Abstract

PuraStat is a novel self-assembling peptide hydrogel developed as a hemostatic agent for endoscopic and surgical procedures which can be applied to bleeding from various lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Yamamoto and colleagues present a video showing the actual endoscopic hemostasis using PuraStat for endoscopic sphincterotomy-related bleeding.

Keywords: bleeding; endoscopic hemostasis; endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; endoscopic sphincterotomy; hemostatic gel.
