Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Perforation"

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the best indications and techniques regarding endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in patients with a transmural defect in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (e.g. anastomotic leakage, Boerhaave syndrome, iatrogenic perforation, other). The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the success rate of EVT for transmural defects in the upper GI tract? What are the best indications for EVT in the upper GI tract? (e.g. etiology, patient characteristics, defect characteristics) What are the best techniques for EVT in the upper GI tract? (e.g. EsoSponge, VACStent, vacuum pressure, intraluminal/intracavitary) Participants will be asked for informed consent to retrospectively and prospectively collect data on EVT.

This pilot, prospective, interventional, monocentric, independent, and no-profit clinical trial aims to investigate and evaluate the proportion, acute and chronic characteristics, and outcomes of esophageal thermal injury (ETI) in AF ablation using a high-power, short-duration (HP-SD) setting with contact force (CF) sensing tip ablation catheter in standard clinical practice. The main questions it aims to answer are: Evaluate the acute proportion of the ETI assessed by the mini-invasive esophagoscopy pre and post-procedure. In addition, clinical evaluations at 3, 6, and 12 months from the procedure are foreseen. Evaluate the contribution of the factors influencing RF procedure (contact force, impedance, RF power, RF time) on ETI development. Describe the relationship between the esophageal temperature (continuous monitoring) and ETI development.

The study aim at comparing outcomes from the implementation of various endoscopic closure techniques including stenting and suturing on the healing and resolution of esophageal wall defects.

This international, prospective and multicenter registry was designed to collect clinical evidence for the endoscopic vacuum treatment using Eso-SPONGE® for anastomotic leakage after esophageal resection or iatrogenic or spontaneous esophageal perforation.

The investigators included all patients who were presented to General Surgery Department with Iatrogenic Esophageal Perforation after Laparoscopic Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery at Zagazig University hospital between (December 2020 to August 2023).The sample size was calculated by using open Epi program depending on the following data ; confidence interval 95% , power of the test 80% , ratio of unexposed/ exposed 1 , the success rate of surgical repair versus endoscopic repair was 98 % versus 75% respectively. Odd ratio 16 , and risk ratio 1.3 , so the calculated sample size equal 84 patients divided into two equal groups. Included patients were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to "Endoscopic Group, EG" or "Surgical Group , SG" via the drawing of sealed envelopes containing computer-generated random numbers prepared by a third party before the start of the intervention.(simple random sample). Patients will be divided into 2 groups in accordance type of preoperative Therapy : Group 1: "Endoscopic Group, EG" included 42 patients. Group 2: "Surgical Group , SG" included 42 patients.

The CLARITY study is a clinical trial approved by US FDA to study the removal of the Evolution® Esophageal Stent-Fully Covered in malignant and benign indications.

Esophageal stents are commonly used for benign esophageal pathology, especially strictures or esophageal mucosal defects such as leaks, fistulae, or perforations. The major limiting factor to stent placement is the high migration rate of the stent. Investigators are trying to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of endostitch in preventing stent migration in benign esophageal disease in comparison with standard, fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS) placement without fixation.
