AIM
To evaluate the rate of adverse events (AEs) during consecutive gastric and duodenal polypectomies in several Spanish centers.
METHODS
Polypectomies of protruded gastric or duodenal polyps >= 5 mm using hot snare were prospectively included. Prophylactic measures of hemorrhage were allowed in predefined cases. AEs were defined and graded according to the lexicon recommended by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Patients were followed for 48 h, one week and 1 mo after the procedure.
RESULTS
308 patients were included and a single polypectomy was performed in 205. Only 36 (11.7%) were on prior anticoagulant therapy. Mean polyp size was 15 +/- 8.9 mm (5-60) and in 294 cases (95.4%) were located in the stomach. Hemorrhage prophylaxis was performed in 219 (71.1%) patients. Nine patients presented AEs (2.9%), and 6 of them were bleeding (n = 6, 1.9%) (in 5 out of 6 AE, different types of endoscopic treatment were performed). Other 24 hemorrhagic episodes could be managed without any change in the outcome of the endoscopy and, consequently, were considered incidents. We did not find any independent risk factor of bleeding.
CONCLUSION
Gastroduodenal polypectomy using prophylactic measures has a rate of AEs small enough to consider this procedure a safe and effective method for polyp resection independently of the polyp size and location. OBJETIVO
Evaluar la tasa de eventos adversos (AA) durante las polipectomías gástricas y duodenales consecutivas en varios centros españoles.
MÉTODOS
Se incluyeron prospectivamente polipectomías de pólipos gástricos o duodenales protruidos> = 5 mm con trampa de calor. Se permitieron medidas profilácticas de hemorragia en casos predefinidos. Los AA se definieron y clasificaron de acuerdo con el léxico recomendado por la Sociedad Estadounidense de Endoscopia Gastrointestinal. Los pacientes fueron seguidos durante 48 h, una semana y 1 mes después del procedimiento.
RESULTADOS
Se incluyeron 308 pacientes y se realizó una única polipectomía en 205. Solo 36 (11,7%) recibieron terapia anticoagulante previa. El tamaño medio de pólipo fue 15 +/- 8.9 mm (5-60) y en 294 casos (95.4%) se localizaron en el estómago. La profilaxis de hemorragia se realizó en 219 (71,1%) pacientes. Nueve pacientes presentaron AA (2,9%) y 6 de ellos sangraron (n = 6, 1,9%) (en 5 de 6 EA, se realizaron diferentes tipos de tratamiento endoscópico). Otros 24 episodios hemorrágicos podrían ser manejados sin ningún cambio en el resultado de la endoscopia y, en consecuencia, se consideraron incidentes. No encontramos ningún factor de riesgo de hemorragia independiente.
CONCLUSIÓN
La polipectomía gastroduodenal utilizando medidas profilácticas tiene una tasa de eventos adversos suficientemente pequeña como para considerar este procedimiento como un método seguro y efectivo para la resección de pólipos independientemente del tamaño y la ubicación del pólipo.
