Abstract
Hemostatic clips are one of the most common treatment options for upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage, allowing for monotherapy in Forrest IIa or higher-grade bleeding. Complications associated with them are infrequent, limited to erosions and minor bleeding related to their deployment. We present the case of a patient with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage secondary to a duodenal peptic ulcer. The patient was treated using a combination of various hemostatic methods, which resulted in perforation of the ulcer and migration of a hemostatic clip into the duodeno-pancreatic groove.
