We report a case focusing on the management of arterial bleeding after endoscopic resection of a neuroendocrine gastric tumor (NET) (Video 1, available online at www.VideoGIE.org). A 47-year-old woman was referred to our center in December 2017 to explore a weight loss of 10 kg and epigastric pain. Laboratory values showed a significantly low hemoglobin value of 6.2 g/dL, low levels of vitamin B12, and positive anti-intrinsic factor antibodies. Given that we suspected pernicious anemia, upper-GI endoscopy confirmed fundic gastritis and revealed a 25-mm sessile lesion. Examination of biopsy specimens revealed a G1 well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor. Echoendoscopy
