Video Summary

In this video, the speaker demonstrates the use of the vesicle clip in closing a defect during an endoscopic procedure. The clip is used to close a deep injury in the stomach. The speaker explains that the clip comes in different sizes and depths, and the most commonly used clip is the 12 with a standard depth of six millimeters. The clip is loaded onto the endoscopic scope, and the catheter is inserted into the biopsy channel. The speaker demonstrates the deployment of the clip using suction, but also mentions the use of a grasper device. The defect is successfully closed with the clip, and the speaker discusses other indications for using the clip, such as closing fistulas or prior PEG tube sites. The speaker also briefly mentions the padlock clip, which is an alternative to the vesicle clip. Misdeployment of the clip can occur, but it can be easily addressed by removing or cutting the clip. The video concludes with a thank you message to the audience.
