Successful closure of chronic recurrent Enterocutaneous fistula with a concurrent over ‐the‐scope closure and a stent placement

We report a case of perforated duodenal ulcer that failed surgical intervention and, however, was successfully closed with over‐the‐scope clip ( OTSC) closure with concomitant placement of fully covered stent.
