Endoscopic treatment of a gastrocutaneous fistula using the over-the-scope-clip system: a case report.

We describe the successful endoscopic closure of the fistula using the OTSC system. The patient's clinical followup was uneventful. Fistula closure was successfully implemented as it was documented by imaging and endoscopic examinations performed on the 2nd day and 6th week after the application of the clip. Endoscopic application of the OTSC device was safe and effective for the treatment of a gastrocutaneous fistula. PMID: 21747650 [PubMed]
