Abstract
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic approach could effectively manage postoperative anastomotic leakage. Various endoscopic methods have been developed for the treatment of anastomotic leakage.
CASE SUMMARY: A 53-year-old woman developed anastomotic leak after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy. Endoscopic clip closure failed due to strong wall tension; therefore, a fully covered self-expandable esophageal metal stent (fc-SEMS) was placed to cover the leak after it was filled with a mixture of fibrin glue and histoacryl. However, fluoroscopy with gastrograffin showed dye leaking out of the fc-SEMS. Using the previous fluoroscopic image for guidance, a catheter was inserted at the leakage site. The radiocontrast dye was injected and was seen spreading along the sinus tract. Thereafter, histoacryl was injected. Seven days after the last procedure, upper gastrointestinal contrast studies showed no leaks. The patient was subsequently discharged 9 d after histoacryl injection without any complications.
CONCLUSION: To seal an anastomosis leak after stent application, salvage technique using histoacryl injection at the leakage site with fluoroscopy guidance could be considered cautiously.
