Core Tip
Core Tip: The present case explored the feasibility, safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of spontaneous duodenal hematoma. The new lumen-apposing self-expandable metallic stent Hot AXIOS™ could be considered a valid alternative to conventional endoscopic incision of the hematoma by using a needle-knife, a biopsy forceps or surgical drainage and percutaneous drainage to relieve pain and a persistent duodenal ulcer.
