Rescue endoscopic band ligation of iatrogenic gastric perforations following failed endoclip closure

Table 1 Baseline patient characteristics

No.	Age (yr)/sex	Diagnosis	Cause	Perforation location	Size (mm)	Causes of clip failure
1	65/M	Neuroendocrine tumor	EMR-L	Fundus	9	Tangential angle and wall tension
2	52/M	Gastric adenoma	EMR-L	Angle	11	Severe belching
3	68/M	Gastric adenoma	EMR-L	Upper body, great curvature	8	Tangential angle
