Initial multicenter experience using a novel endoscopic tack and suture system for challenging GI defect closure and stent fixation (with video)

Closure of endoscopic resection defects can be achieved with through-the-scope clips, over-the-scope clips or endoscopic suturing. However, these devices are often limited by their inability to close large, irregular, and difficult to reach defects. Thus, we aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of the novel through-the-scope suture-based closure system that was developed to overcome these limitations.
