Finally, the resection site was carefully observed to evaluate the presence of any residual tumor and sucralfate was sprayed onto the ulcer (Fig. 3A). Upper GI endoscopy was carried out six days after the procedure in order to evaluate the ulcer bed and to initiate per os anticoagulation therapy (Fig. 3B).
