AbstractThe advent and success of therapeutic endoscopy has expanded the utilization of endoscopy as an effective alternative to surgical intervention in some cases with decreased morbidity, improved outcomes, and shortened length of hospital stay. Gastrointestinal bleeding, perforations, leaks, fistulas, and strictures have become increasingly managed by endoscopy with the evolution and development of endoscopic tools for effective closure of full-thickness gastrointestinal defects, dilation, and hemostasis. This article reviews the characteristics and role of endoscopic clips, stents, dilation balloons, endoscopic knives, and suturing devices.

Therapeutic endoscopy plays a critical role in the management of gastrointestinal (GI) fistulas. Innovative endoscopic approaches have revolutionized the treatment of GI fistulas; however, current endoscopic treatment modalities require multiple sessions and are associated with highly variable success rates and safety profi les. Due to these currently limitations, the off -label use of cardiac septal defect occluders (CSDOs) has emerged as a promising device to treatment GI fi stulas, with early studies suggesting it to be a technically feasible, effective, and safe treatment. Therefore, we believe CSDO devices may be a preferred option for the management of refractory GI fistulas.
