SEALING THE TRACT: A NOVEL APPROACH USING CARDIAC SEPTAL OCCLUDER IN ENTEROCUTANEOUS FISTULA CLOSURE

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses managing anterocutaneous fistula with a focus on a novel approach using a cardiac septal occluder. The case involves a 61-year-old woman with colon cancer and a symptomatic anterocutaneous fistula who was not a good candidate for surgery. Traditional methods like glue injections failed, so endoscopic closure was attempted but unsuccessful. Ultimately, the septal occluder device was deployed via a purely fluoroscopic approach, successfully sealing the fistula. The patient recovered well post-procedure with no leakage or symptoms, highlighting the importance of innovative solutions and a multidisciplinary approach in complex clinical cases.
