Video Tip: Diagnosing Clip Artifact | October 2022-Diagnosing Clip Artifact

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses a case of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) performed on a 64-year-old man with a large lesion on the lateral wall of the cecum. The video shows the EMR defect in both white light and narrow band imaging, with a focus on the scar which has an irregular and nodular appearance. The diagnosis is clip artifact, which occurs when clips are placed during the EMR procedure to prevent bleeding. The video explains that clip artifact initially appears as granulation tissue around the clip, which later subsides, leaving distorted mucosa and small nodules of normal tissue. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing this as normal and not residual polyp. This video is supported by an educational grant from Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB.
