Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "risk of delayed bleeding after cold snare polypectomy in patients with antithrombotic therapy".Literature summary: this study aimed to investigate the real-world safety of cold snare polypectomy during antithrombotic therapy.Based on the collected data from consecutive patients undergoing cold snare polypectomy in a single hospital between 2013 and 2017.Indications for cold snare polypectomy were any = 10 mm polyp.The primary outcome was delayed bleeding.This was compared rates of delayed bleeding between patient with and without antithrombotic therapy and analyzed risk factors for delayed bleeding using binary logistic regression model with firth procedure.Delayed bleeding occurred in 11 patients out of 2, 152 patients.The rate of delayed bleeding was higher in patients on antithrombotic therapy.Patients on antithrombotic therapy were older more likely male patients and had cold snare polypectomy.Larger polyps¿ size (>5mm), use of clips and antithrombotic therapy were significant risk factors for delayed bleeding.However, there was no clear association between specific antithrombotic agents and delayed bleeding.Conclusion: delayed bleeding after cold snare polypectomy was rare even in patients with antithrombotic therapy, and no major delayed bleeding occurred.The following devices were used to perform the colonoscopy procedures: olympus colonoscopes model pcf-h290azl and pcf-hq290i.Fuji film¿s device model ec-l600zp and ec-l590zw.The snare used for csp was captivator 13mm boston scientific, and snare master 10mm manufactured by olympus (sd-400u-10).Based on the literature, there was no allegations of device malfunction; however, olympus will be filing four mdrs based on the four (4) out of 11 patients that reportedly experienced delayed bleeding after undergoing the csp and a clipping device was utilized to control the bleeding although, the literature did not specify which of the olympus devices were used on which patients, olympus decided to submit mdrs on the snare master 10mm, as this is the device that had close contact on the bleeding site.Cross-reference the following related complaints with patient identifier number: (b)(6): sd-400u-10.(b)(6): sd-400u-10.(b)(6): sd-400u-10.(b)(6): sd-400u-10.
