ABSTRACT
Gastric perforation is a rare complication after acute necrotizing pancreatitis. We describe endoscopic closure of a gastric perforation that appeared 4 days after surgical necrosectomy including splenectomy due to necrotizing pancreatitis, using the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system (Ovesco Endoscopy GmbH, Tübingen, Germany). The clips, which are made of nitinol, are loaded onto an application cap which is mounted on the distal tip of the endoscope. The lesion was closed with two clips and the patient recovered well without reinterventions. The lesions showed normal healing on follow-up.
