Endoscopic closure of GI fistulae by using an over-the-scope clip (with videos).

Abstract

Preclinical studies have demonstrated the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) to be feasible and safe for closure of gastric, duodenal, and colonic perforations. A retrospective clinical study demonstrated the feasibility and preliminary safety of the OTSC for the treatment of GI bleeding and closure of acute GI perforations.
