Fixation of Fully Covered Esophageal Stent With The New Over-The-Scope Clip (OTSC)
A 60 years-old-man, with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, presented with esophago-jejunal anastomosis stricture, refractory to balloon dilatation.Under fluoroscopic control and deep sedation, a guidewire was passed through the efferent loop. Then, a fully covered metal (WallFlexTM Esophageal 23x105mm, BostonScientific) stent was deployed and fixed on the proximal end using the stentfix OTSC (Ovesco Endoscopy). There were no complications. The stent remains in place after 7 weeks.The design of stentfix OTSC grants a good adaptation to the gastrointestinal anatomy, without conditioning luminal obstruction. Use of stentix OTSC seems to be associated with a decreased rate of fully covered metal stent migration.
