New endoscopic clipping device called the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) system (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany) has become available for the closure of perforations, anastomotic leaks, and fistulas. The OTSC system has a stronger closing force than the through-the-scope hemostatic clip. Therefore, some researchers have reported esophageal SEMS fixation with an OTSC to prevent migration.
