Hepatocolic fistula managed with a novel Padlock® device for endoscopic closure

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 Oct;109(10):731-733. doi: 10.17235/reed.2017.5150/2017.

Abstract

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.
