Fully covered metal stents for the treatment of post-sphincterotomy bleeding: Case report

Abstract

The frequency of post sphincterotomy bleeding is 1.2%. The spectrum of presentation may range from self-limited to severe live-threatening hemorrhage. Different endoscopic treatment options are available. Completely covered self-expendable metal stents can achieve hemostasis in severe postsphincterotomy bleeding that cannot be controlled by other measures.
