Abstract:	AIM To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic hemoclip in the treatment of bleeding peptic ulcer. METHODS Totally, 40 patients with F1a and F1b hemorrhagic activity of peptic ulcers were enrolled in this uncontrolled prospective study for endoscopic hemoclip treatment. We used a newly developed rotatable clip-device for the application of hemoclip ( MD850) to stop bleeding. Endoscopy was repeated if there was any sign or suspicion of rebleeding, and re-clipping was performed if necessary and feasible. RESULTS Initial hemostatic rate by clipping was 95%, and rebleeding rate was only 8%. Ultimate hemostatic rates were 87%, 96%, and 93% in the F1a and F1b subgroups, and total cases, respectively. In patients with shock on admission, hemoclipping achieved ultimate hemostasis of 71% and 83% in F1a and F1b subgroups, respectively. Hemostasis reached 100% in patients without shock regardless of hemorrhagic activity being F1a or F1b. The average number of clips used per case was 3.0 (range 2 - 5). Spurting bleeders required more clips on average than did oozing bleeders (3.4 versus 2.8). We observed no obvious complications, no tissue injury, or impairment of ulcer healing related to hemoclipping. CONCLUSION Endoscopic hemoclip placement is an effective and safe method. With the improvement of the clip and application device, the procedure has become easier and much more efficient. Endoscopic hemoclipping deserves further study in the treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers.
