Use of helical tack system for management of a high-risk fibrotic peptic ulcer
Background and Aims: GI bleeding because of peptic ulcer disease is a well-described entity in its diagnosis and management. Although hemostatic clips and thermal therapy have been the primary tools in bleeding from peptic ulcer disease, some bleeds remain refractory. New data have shown that oblite...

| description | Background and Aims: GI bleeding because of peptic ulcer disease is a well-described entity in its diagnosis and management. Although hemostatic clips and thermal therapy have been the primary tools in bleeding from peptic ulcer disease, some bleeds remain refractory. New data have shown that obliteration of the underlying arterial blood flow is needed to control refractory peptic ulcer bleeding. Although this has been shown with over-the-scope clips, we present a case where GI bleeding is controlled via a helical tack system. Although there are several available tools that can be used for treatment of upper GI bleeds, there remains a need for devices that can be used when standard methods of closure, such as with clips, cannot be performed because of a challenging location or friable mucosa. The aim of this video case is to demonstrate the use of a novel helical tack system as a salvage technique in the treatment of challenging upper GI bleeds. Methods: One case of a bleeding GI ulcer that was refractory to standard endoscopic clips was identified. Results: In this case, the ulcer closure was achieved using the helical tack system. There were no adverse events. The patient did not require additional surgical or endoscopic interventions. Conclusions: The helical tack system is a novel device that may be useful as a salvage method for the cessation of GI bleeds refractory to standard clips. Additional comparative studies are needed to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of this system relative to other closure tools. |
