Interventions

Endoscopic treatment of subepithelial tumors: autoamputation by endoscopic band ligation without resection.

Also known as: Endoscopic ligation, Endoscopic band ligation without electrosurgery, Band ligation with a mucosectomy device without resection
SINKPROCEDURE

To obtain sample tissue biopsies after the endoscopic band ligation without resection, performing a single-incision with a needle-knife.

Also known as: Single-incision needle-knife, Single-incision needle-knife and use of a biopsy forceps device

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with subepithelial lesions (SEL) in the gastrointestinal tract.

You may qualify if:

  • Age between 18 and 80 years old.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) image of a gastrointestinal subepithelial tumour (SET) ≤15-mm.
  • Patient capable of understanding and signing informed consent form.
  • Patient understanding the type of study and complying with the follow-up of complementary tests during the study duration.

You may not qualify if:

  • SETs \>15-mm.
  • SETs with clear diagnosis of EUS benign semiology: ie., lipoma, ectopic pancreas.
  • Patients with multiple SETs (e.g., carcinoids).
  • Vascular SETs (Doppler effect by EUS).
  • Severe coagulation disorder: INR \>1.5 not correctible with administration of plasma and/or platelets \<50,000/mm3.
  • Conditions that preclude upper digestive endoscopy, such as stenosis.
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
  • Failure to sign informed consent form.
  • Patients with functional diversity who are unable to understand the nature and possible consequences of the study, unless there is a competent legal representative.
  • Patients unable to adhere to subsequent follow-up requirements.
  • Patients with a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
