Abstract

Gastroenterology Internal Medicine
Over-the-scope clips (OTSC) (Ovesco, Tübingen, Germany) are commonly used for closure of bowel perforations, fistulas and to achieve hemostasis. This device is attached to the endoscope and delivers a variety of clips, based on diameter and depth, that works through tissue approximation. Complications including local inflammation, ulcers, or obstruction can occur. When the clip is misplaced or OTSC-associated complications occur, OTSC removal may be indicated. We present a case of a patient who presented to our hospital with upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. OTSC was used to achieve hemostasis, however, the clip was misplaced over the ampulla of Vater. remOVE system (Ovesco, Tübingen, Germany) was used to remove the misplaced clip.
