The use of diluted epinephrine during gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection: an international randomized controlled trial

Key Points

• Diluted epinephrine significantly reduces bleeding during gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection procedures, indicating improved outcomes.
• Bleeding incidents were lower in the group that received diluted epinephrine, with a notable decrease by 25% compared to controls.
• Randomized controlled trial was conducted across multiple international centers over a period of six months, involving hundreds of patients.
• Efficacy highlighted may suggest the need for broad implementation of diluted epinephrine in gastric procedures, enhancing recovery.
