Endoscopic management of gastrointestinal wall defects, fistula closure, and stent fixation using through-the-scope tack and suture system

BACKGROUND : Multiple devices are available for tissue approximation. A new through-the-scope suturing (TTSS) device has recently been introduced; however, data on its scope of use and clinical effectiveness are limited. We aimed to assess the clinical course and effectiveness of this TTSS device. METHODS : A retrospective review was performed for consecutive patients who underwent TTSS application. Primary outcomes were technical and clinical success, and secondary outcomes included adverse events and long-term clinical success. RESULTS : 53 patients (mean age 67.8 years; 69.8 % females) were included, with a mean defect size of 32.6 mm (SD 11.9). Technical success was achieved in 51 patients (96.2 %). Clinical success was achieved in 49 patients (92.4 %). Two patients (3.8 %) experienced failed fistula closure after technical success. Long-term follow-up (> 30 days) was available for 45 patients (84.9 %), with a mean follow-up of 7.2 months. One patient (1.9 %) had self-reported bleeding that did not require further intervention. CONCLUSIONS : TTTS was an effective and safe method for the closure of large gastrointestinal defects and could be used for fistula closure and stent fixation, making it a valuable addition to the armamentarium of endoscopic closure devices.
