Abstract
,Endoscopic Hemoclips were developed as a method of securing permanent hemo stasis in cases of nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding. However, Hemoclip s have also been found useful in several other situations, such as closure of small perforations, as marking devices, and for anchoring feeding tubes. We describe here a further novel use of Hemoclips - to anchor an esophagea l endoprosthesis.
