Objectives: The risk of postoperative bleeding is high after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients continuously treated with antithrombotic agents (ATAs). The effectiveness of endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) on bleeding after gastric ESD was investigated in patients at high risk of delayed bleeding.
Methods: Patients with neoplasms ≤2 cm who underwent gastric ESD and continued to receive perioperative ATAs were enrolled in this multicenter phase II study. The mucosal defect was closed with EHS after removing the lesion. Postoperative bleeding rate was assessed for 3-4 postoperative weeks as a primary outcome measure. The technical success of EHS and adverse events were also assessed. Based on expected and threshold postoperative bleeding rates of 10% and 25%, respectively, we aimed to include 48 patients in the study.
Results: A total of 49 patients were enrolled in the study, and 43 patients were finally registered as the per-protocol set. The postoperative bleeding rate was 7.0% (3/43 patients; the upper limit of one-sided 95% confidence interval [CI], 17.1% and 97.5% CI, 19.1%). The upper limits of the CI were below the threshold value (25%), and the postoperative bleeding rate was below the expected value (10%). The technical EHS success rate, closure maintenance rate on postoperative day 3, and postoperative subclinical bleeding rate were 100%, 83%, and 2%, respectively. No severe adverse events related to EHS were observed.
Conclusions: Endoscopic hand suturing may prevent postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing gastric ESD while being treated continuously with ATAs (UMIN000038140).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lymph node metastasis (LNM) prediction for T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) is critical for determining the need for surgery after endoscopic resection because LNM occurs in 10%. We aimed to develop a novel artificial intelligence (AI) system using whole slide images (WSIs) to predict LNM. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single center study. To train and test the AI model, we included LNM status-confirmed T1 and T2 CRC between April 2001 and October 2021. These lesions were divided into two cohorts: training (T1 and T2) and testing (T1). WSIs were cropped into small patches and clustered by unsupervised K-means. The percentage of patches belonging to each cluster was calculated from each WSI. Each cluster's percentage, sex, and tumor location were extracted and learned using the random forest algorithm. We calculated the areas under the receiver operator characteristics curves (AUCs) to identify the LNM and the rate of over-surgery of the AI model and the guidelines. RESULTS The training cohort contained 217 T1 and 268 T2 CRCs, while 100 T1 cases (LNM-positivity 15%) were the test cohort. The AUC of the AI system for the test cohort was 0.74 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58-0.86), and 0.52 (95% CI, 0.50-0.55) using the guidelines criteria (p=0.0028). This AI model could reduce the 21% of over-surgery compared to the guidelines. CONCLUSION We developed a pathologist-independent predictive model for LNM in T1 CRC using WSI for determination of the need for surgery after endoscopic resection.
