Does Early Re-administration of Aspirin/Clopidogrel Increase the Risk of Bleeding From Artificial Ulcer After EMR or ESD?

Patients who have taken aspirin and/or clopidogrel and are found to have early gastric cancer or gastric premalignant lesions including adenoma and dysplasia by upper endoscopy will be stopped aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 7 days before EMR/ESD. In immediate group, the patient will receive oral proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole 40mg per day) for 4 weeks after EMR/ESD to treat their post-EMR/ESD ulcer.
