Core Tip
Core Tip: The conventional application of prophylactic clipping has not diminished overall risk of postprocedural delayed adverse events, and additional efficacy and cost-effectiveness studies are needed in patients with large (20 mm) non-pedunculated colorectal lesions, in whom prophylactic clipping may be useful. The preventive process significantly decreases the risk of delayed adverse events (delayed bleeding and delayed perforation) by more than 80%.
