Persistent Fistula Closure After Endoscopic Ultrasound-Directed Transgastric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography by Postinfarct Ventricular Septal Defect Occluder

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A gastrogastric fistula is a delayed complication of the endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Endoscopic closure of these fistulae poses a significant challenge, and surgical intervention may be required in some patients. In this study, we discuss the case of a 69-year-old woman with persistent fistula following the endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure. Despite the failure of conventional advanced endoscopic fistula closure methods, successful closure of the fistula was achieved using a postinfarct ventricular septal defect occluder.
