About this trial

This observational study aims to retrospectively determine if clips can prevent post-polypectomy bleeding in adults who have received restarted anticoagulants after a colorectal polypectomy, using a large, single-center patient registry.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Can clips prevent post-polypectomy bleeding in adults who have received restarted anticoagulants after a colorectal polypectomy? Researchers will compare adults who received preventive clipping after a polypectomy with those who did not, regarding colorectal bleeding after receiving restarted anticoagulants.

Participants have undergone a colorectal polypectomy and received restarted anticoagulants (acetylsalicylic acid excluded) after the procedure.
