    Endoscopic suturing is an alternative to surgical treatment for a number of applications in gastrointestinal care.

    A 59 year-old man underwent a gastroscopy that revealed a post-radiation mid-esophageal stricture and a 25 mm fistula connecting the cervical esophagus with a right lung bronchus.

    The OverStitch Sx was introduced into the esophagus without an overtube. One running suture was performed to tightly appose the edges of the fistula and completely seal the defect. Finally, a FCSEMS was placed. The suturing time was 24 minutes.

    This device can be a valuable tool in the armamentarium for the management of complex situations.
