Cardiac Septal Occluder for Treatment of Gastro Gastric Fistula

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides a case study of a 47-year-old woman with a gastro-gastric fistula following gastric bypass surgery. The video demonstrates the use of a cardiac septal defect occluder device as a treatment for the fistula. The procedure involves endoscopic closure of the fistula using argon plasma coagulation and the deployment of a double-disc device through a modified delivery system. The occluder effectively closes the fistula, as confirmed by a follow-up barium swallow. The procedure is found to be effective, safe, and efficient, offering a potential alternative to surgical revision for gastro-gastric fistula closure. Future studies are needed to validate these findings and compare outcomes to other treatment strategies.
