Abstract
A 74-year-old woman with recurrent gastric cancer underwent laparotomy for peritoneal dissemination, and the damaged jejunum formed a jejunocutaneous fistula. Because conservative treatment alone could not cure the fistula, we performed an endoscopic placement of a partially covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) to cover the fistula. After the procedure, the contrast medium no longer leaked from the intestinal lumen. One month after stent placement, the cutaneous opening had closed. This case report demonstrates the potential for using partially covered SEMS to treat intractable jejunocutaneous fistula in patients with terminal-stage malignant tumors.

The importance of pH adjustment for preventing fibrin glue dissolution in the stomach: an in vitro study. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6986. [PMID: 35484272 PMCID: PMC9050883 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10968-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Combined use of fibrin glue and polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets has attracted attention as a preventive measure for complications associated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, fibrin glue is a protein that may be dissolved by gastric acid. We evaluated the effect of artificial gastric acid on fibrin clot. The dissolution time of three layers of fibrin glue with PGA sheets was measured in five groups (pH 1.2, 2.0, 4.0, 5.5, and 6.0 with pepsin). Measurements of three samples per group were made. The mean number of the remaining layers at each measurement point was observed for 168 h. The time to complete dissolution of the three layers of fibrin gel in the three samples was 2.5 h at pH 1.2, 5 h at pH 2.0, 24 h at pH 4.0, and 48 h and 6 h at pH 5.5. In order to maintain fibrin glue in the stomach for a long period, there was a need to avoid pepsin activation secondary to acidification of gastric juice. The use of strong antacids is recommended.

Filling of Polyglycolic Acid Sheets for Closure of Gastrointestinal Fistulas With an Easily Deliverable Technique Using a Guidewire. Gastroenterology Res 2020; 13:96-100.

Abstract
Background This retrospective study aimed to investigate the suitable indications, methodology and long-term effect of the closure of gastrointestinal (GI) fistulas using polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets and fibrin glue (FG) and to evaluate the usefulness of a delivery technique using a guidewire. Methods It involved 10 applications in six patients (median age 73 (range 53 - 78) years old, three men) with GI fistulas. A guidewire was introduced endoscopically or percutaneously into the fistula beyond the opposite orifice of the fistula with radiologic control. A tapered catheter was inserted over the guidewire, and the fistula was cleaned with an adequate quantity of saline. Subsequently, a small piece of PGA sheet was skewered onto the guidewire at the center and then pushed using the tapered catheter over the guidewire and delivered into the fistula. In cases of endoscopic procedure, the mucosa around the fistula was ablated, and the orifice of the fistula along with the surrounding mucosa was shielded with a piece of PGA sheet fixed with hemoclips and FG. Results Technical success of fistula closure was achieved in all applications, and no complications were observed after the procedure. The long-term occlusion of the fistula was ultimately achieved in four of six patients at 202 - 654 days (median duration, 244 days) after the last procedure with one or two applications. Conclusions The closure of GI fistulas using PGA sheets and FG demonstrated long-term efficacy for upper GI fistula of a certain length, and the filling technique using a guidewire ensured a safe smooth procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS In 2013, we introduced a modified technique for mucosal/muscle layer defect coverage with fibrin glue and polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets (mMCFP technique) in patients undergoing endoscopic transoral surgeries for laryngopharyngeal cancers. This technique allows easy and convenient coverage of the wound surface, even when it involves the laryngopharyngeal lumen. To our knowledge, use of the MCFP technique for coverage of postoperative mucosal and/or muscle layer defects involving the laryngopharyngeal lumen has not been reported. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the safety of our mMCFP technique used simultaneously with endoscopic transoral resection of Tis, T1, T2, and select T3 pharyngeal and supraglottic cancers. STUDY DESIGN A single centre retrospective study. METHODS Between June 2013 and February 2019, 102 patients underwent simultaneous end-flexible-rigidscopic transoral surgery and wound coverage using our mMCFP technique. All patients required mucosal and/or muscle layer resection. For all patients, we recorded the incidence of postoperative complications and the time period for which the PGA sheets could be observed after surgery. RESULTS In 41%, 35%, and 8% patients, the PGA sheets could be observed on the wound surface for 2, 3, and 4 weeks, respectively. Other than postoperative bleeding in two patients (2%), no postoperative complications were recorded. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that our mMCFP technique is a safe and simple method for the repair of mucosal and/or muscle layer defects after endoscopic transoral surgery for laryngopharyngeal cancers.

Abstract
Endoscopic shielding is an innovative concept in therapeutic endoscopy. Its usage has been mostly restricted to wide‐field endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection. A novel potential clinical use may be in bleeding pophylaxis for argon plasma coagulation‐related ulcers under concomitant mandatory dual antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
Tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEF) are pathologic communications between the trachea and esophagus. TEF can lead to significant respiratory distress that may result in lethal respiratory compromise, often due to recurrent and intractable infections. Through the use of endoscopy, some TEF can be successfully repaired using different approaches depending on the size, location, availability, and experience of the treating endoscopist. The aim of this manuscript is to provide an up-to-date review of the endoscopic management of TEF for gastroenterologists.
