Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, randomized research trial that aims to evaluate the clinical results of two different approximation methods to close the tissue defect caused by removing gastrointestinal polyps.

Description:

Closure of GI defects after endoscopic resection decreases the rate of post resection bleeding. Traditionally, standard TTS clips have been used to close GI wall defects with some success. However, complete apposition of the resection wall edges occurs only 68% of the time. Endoscopic suturing with the traditional Overstitch device can achieve complete closure in almost 100% of defects. However, this device is costly, requires the use of a double channel therapeutic endoscope, and at times can be difficult to maneuver. Recently, a novel FDA approved TTS tissue helix and suture device (X-tack) was developed to overcome the challenges of the traditional Overstitch device. Animal models have demonstrated the X-tack system is superior to TTS in effecting large mucosal defects and maintain similar durability. At BCM, we have been using the X-tack system routinely in closure of GI defects.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Closure type
Patients will have their endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) as per standard-of-care. Afterwards, patient will receive one of two intervention options for the closure of the GI defect following polyp removal.
