HELICAL TACK CLOSURE OF A FAILED DUODENAL PERFORATION REPAIR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video case report presented by Mikael Quattrone, a helical TAC closure was used to manage a persistent duodenal leak after initial surgical repair. The patient, a 74-year-old female with COPD, showed evidence of a perforation on CT scan post-surgery, leading to endoscopic evaluation. Multiple tacking systems were deployed to close the defect adequately. Biopsies were taken, and endoscopic clips were placed to prevent future bleeding. After completion, there was no persistent leak, and the patient was discharged successfully after a one-month follow-up. The report emphasizes the efficacy of helical tack closure as an endoscopic management option for such cases and the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration for optimal patient care.
