Since he took over the Clips 28 years ago, they have been an unmitigated disaster and the buck, quite rightly, starts and stops at the very top.
The newly designed over-the-scope clip (OTSC) seems to overcome several limitations of current clipping system, such as size and opening closing force, allowing better control of gastric or colonic bleeding and/or deep wall defect or perforation.
The over-the-scope clip (OTSC) provides more durable and full-thickness closure as compared with standard clips.
The feasibility of closing iatrogenic endoscopic GI-tract perforations by using a new over-the-scope clip was recently described.
A novel, over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system may be suitable for closure of various GI perforations.
Various studies have demonstrated the usefulness of the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) to treat perforations, anastomotic leaks, and fistulae.
The over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system has previously been shown to be effective for NOTES gastrotomy closure.
There are limited bench data on the efficacy of the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) for the treatment of spurting GI hemorrhage.
A new over-the-scope clip system, OTSC (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tuebingen, Germany), may be suitable for the closure of larger GI leaks.
Gastrotomy closure remains the major limiting factor for human translation of transgastric surgery; the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system was proposed as a possibility for this purpose.
