Figure 1 Clip-and-snare method using pre-looping technique.
A: The transparent cap is tightened with a snare from the outside of the endoscope (pre-looping technique) after completion of a circumferential incision; B: A tumor is seen on the lesser curvature of the upper third of the stomach. The endoscope is bent to a maximum. A hemoclip with a reusable clip deployment device is inserted through the endoscope channel and is used to grasp the edge of the tumor while avoiding its detachment from its deployment device; C, D: The pre-looped snare is loosened from the transparent cap and moved along the device toward the hemoclip; E, F: The hemoclip is tightened with the snare and released from the clip deployment device; G: The endoscopist can apply appropriate tension to the lesion using the snare independent of the endoscope. The slider of the snare is fixed with clothespins.
