Core Tip

Core Tip: Migration of Hem-o-lok clips to the duodenal bulb may manifest as a slightly raised lesion resembling a submucosal tumor in the duodenal bulb. A gradual alteration in the endoscopic view of the lesion could be seen as the Hem-o-lok clip migrates through the wall of the duodenal bulb. Although Hem-o-lok clip migration to the duodenal bulb is infrequent, clinicians must be highly attentive and vigilant regarding these complications to avoid misdiagnosis.
