This case report demonstrates successful endoscopic treatment of a persistent gastrocutaneous fistula after removal of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in a 21-year-old patient with mucoviscidosis after lung transplantation. Because the initial OTSC clip (gastric) did not close the fistula sufficiently, we had to remove it and replace it with a larger OTSC clip (colon) in a second intervention. That clip finally sufficiently closed the fistula.

A 71-year-old male patient with a history of bladder neoplasia underwent Bricker-type surgery, during which an iatrogenic rectal injury occurred. During surgery, an unsuccessful suture attempt was made, leading to the appearance of fecaluria after 48 hours. A computed tomography scan revealed a small continuity defect in the rectal wall, accompanied by a 25-mm adjacent collection.

Background: Aortic-esophageal fistula (AEF) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has a high fatality rate and is difficult to treat. Endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT) has recently appeared and proven to be a useful method for anastomotic leakage.
Case Presentation: A 76-year-old man underwent aortic arch replacement for a stent graft infection after TEVAR.

Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has become the most effective therapeutic option for upper gastrointestinal leakage. Despite its efficiency, this treatment can necessitate a long hospitalization. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether additional use of an over-the-scope-clips (OTSC) closure after successful EVT can shorten leakage therapy.

This review evaluates the evidence for the use of over-the-scope clips (OTSC), topical haemostatic agents (THA), and prophylactic embolisation (PE) in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). The use of OTSC and THA may have the potential to increase the rate of endoscopic haemostasis in PUB not responding to conventional endoscopic treatment. In patients at high risk of recurrent bleeding, the performance of PE after achieving endoscopic haemostasis can reduce the risk of rebleeding and the need for surgery.

Background: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is commonly used for enteral nutritional access, but gastrocutaneous fistulae (GCF) may persist after tube removal, posing clinical challenges. The use of endoscopic closure devices, including over-the-scope clips (OTSC), has shown promise in managing non-healing fistulae, although data in the pediatric population are limited.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter study analyzed pediatric patients who underwent GCF closure following gastrostomy tube removal.
