Biopsy‐Induced Duodenal Hematoma Is Not an Infrequent Complication Favored by Bone Marrow Transplantation

Abstract

IDH is not an infrequent complication of endoscopic duodenal biopsy, especially in patients who undergo BMT. Endoscopists should be especially careful during the duodenal biopsy procedure in these patients. With no early perforation due to post-biopsy IDH reported, the prognosis is good and conservative management generally leads to resolution of the symptoms in 2 to 3 weeks.
