ASGE DDW Videos from Around the World | 2025-PLUGGING THE STENT

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video describes a novel method to manage ileocolorectal fistulas using a viable stent and a sinoacrylate-filled AVP2 plug in a 44-year-old patient with rectal cancer complications. After low anterior resection, the patient's anastomosis was disrupted, creating a fistula causing pelvic pain. The presacral abscess was cleaned, and a stent was placed to bypass it. The stent was plugged with a sinoacrylate-filled plug, preventing leakage of bowel contents, thus alleviating pain and excoriation. The patient's symptoms resolved at a three-month follow-up, and further evaluation is planned for six months post-procedure.
