Abstract

A 46-year-old man with AIDS received a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in October 2009. His condition improved, and the PEG tube was removed in May 2010. Afterwards, the patient developed a persistent gastrocutaneous fistula at the site of the previous PEG. Multiple attempts to close the fistula with endoscopic clips, gastropexy, and an over-the-scope clip (Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tbingen, Germany) failed. Upper endoscopy revealed a gastrocutaneous fistula 5 mm in diameter.
