Reviewer: Francesca Galuppini  
 
Reviewer's report:  
This is a wll -written manuscript about the risk of bleeding after second -look endoscopy (SLE) in 
the setting of gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).  
Although the work is well conducted and the main concerns are highlighted by the Authors, it 
does not have a great originality.  
One of the concern I have is the following: How do the Authors argue the result that 
antithrombotic drugs affect more on later phase post - ESD bleeding?  
There are some typos and English could be reviewed.   
 
Are the methods appropriate and well described?  
If not, please specify what is required in your comments to the authors.  
Yes

If not, please specify which controls are required in your comments to the authors.

If not, please explain in your comments to the authors.
