Haemocer Plus in the treatment and prevention of lower GI post-resectional bleeding: prospective multicenter registry.

This article discusses the use of HaemoCer PLUS, a hemostatic powder, in the treatment and prevention of lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding after endoscopic resectional procedures. GI bleeding is a common complication of these procedures, and current treatments include injection therapy, mechanical therapy, and thermal therapy. The study aims to establish a multicenter registry to collect data on the use of HaemoCer PLUS for the prevention of delayed bleeding after colonic endoscopic resectional procedures. Preliminary results suggest that HaemoCer PLUS may be an effective additional therapy for preventing bleeding in patients with large colonic endoscopic resections who are on ongoing antiplatelet therapy. However, managing combined antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in patients with comorbidities remains challenging. [Extracted from the article]
