Objectives: Bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric tumors in patients taking antithrombotic drugs, in particular direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), remains unresolved; therefore, we evaluated the risk factors for post-ESD bleeding and drug differences in patients taking DOACs.
Methods: We included 278 patients taking antithrombotic drugs who underwent gastric ESD between January 2017 and March 2022. Antithrombotic drugs were withdrawn following the 2017 guidelines (Appendix on anticoagulants including DOACs). To further clarify differences in antithrombotic agents' effects, the peri-cancerous mucosa in the resected specimen was pathologically evaluated according to the Updated Sydney System. Multivariate analysis was performed to assess the risk of post-ESD bleeding.
Results: The incidence of post-ESD bleeding in patients taking DOACs was 19.6% (10/51). Among patients taking antithrombotic drugs, DOACs were identified as a possible factor involved in post-ESD bleeding (odds ratio [OR] 4.92). Among patients taking DOACs, possible factors included resection length diameter ≥30 mm (OR 3.72), presence of neutrophil infiltration (OR 2.71), lesions occurring in the lower third of stomach (OR 2.34), and preoperative antiplatelet use (OR 2.22). Post-ESD bleeding by DOAC type was 25.0% of patients (4/16) receiving apixaban, in 20.0% (3/15) receiving edoxaban, in 21.4% (3/14) receiving rivaroxaban, and in none of those receiving dabigatran.
Conclusions: The administration of DOACs was shown to be a possible factor involved in post-ESD bleeding, and risk factors for patients taking DOACs included neutrophil infiltration. The pharmacological differences in the effects of DOACs contributing to bleeding in gastric ulcers suggest comparatively less bleeding with dabigatran after ESD.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer. However, post-ESD bleeding presents significant risks. Closing mucosal defects following ESD may reduce the incidence of post-ESD bleeding.

Background: The MANTIS Closure Device (MCD; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA) is a reopenable clip with a sharp claw used for closure after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We evaluated the effectiveness of the MCD for fast and complete closure after colorectal ESD.
Methods: Cases involving closure with the MCD after ESD of 20-60-mm colorectal lesions between April 2023 and January 2024 were reviewed.
