Abstract
VELAYOS-JIMENEZ, Benito et al. Hepatocolic fistula managed with a novel Padlock® device for endoscopic closure. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.10, pp.731-733. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2017.5150/2017.
Recent advances in endoscopic therapeutics allow conditions such as fistulas of the digestive system to be treated endoscopically. These cases were recently managed with surgery. The Padlock® system includes a nitinol clip that was recently introduced for endoscopic therapy. There are few reports with regard to its use in the daily clinical practice. We report a case of a colonic fistula that was endoscopically managed with this novel over-the-scope nitinol clip system.
Keywords : Therapeutic endoscopy; Over-the-scope clip; Fistula closure.
