Endoscopic management of GI perforations with a new over-the-scope clip device (with videos)

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Andrea ParodiMassimo Conio

Abstract

Through-the-scope endoclips have been used to manage small perforations in the GI tract, but they have limitations. A new over-the-scope clip system, OTSC (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tuebingen, Germany), may be suitable for the closure of larger GI leaks. To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with GI perforations of up to 20 mm, treated with OTSC. Prospective, single-arm, pilot study. General hospitals referral centers for endotherapy. This study involved 10 patients (median age 58.5 years [range 27-82 years], 7 men) with GI leaks from perforations, fistulas, and anastomotic dehiscence. Two gastric, 2 duodenal, and 6 colonic leaks were treated with OTSC. The diameter of leaks ranged between 7 and 20 mm. OTSC devices were used to seal the GI leaks. Then Gastrografin (Bayer AG, Germany) was introduced via the endoscope and complete sealing confirmed under fluoroscopy. Patients underwent a second endoscopic examination 3 months later. Complete sealing of the leak. Complete sealing of leaks was achieved by using OTSC alone in 8 of 10 patients. For one patient, successful endoscopic management was completed by placing two additional covered stents. Only one patient required surgical repair of the leak. Endoscopic examination 3 months...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
