N2 - Intrathoracic esophageal anastomotic leaks are a\r\nfeared complication of esophageal surgery. Beyond surgical\r\ndrainage, therapeutic endoscopic intervention is\r\nincreasingly indicated to effect closure of acute perforations,\r\nleaks, and fistulae. Conventional endoscopic\r\nclips and self-expanding stents are in the front line of\r\nendoscopic therapy, but even with these standard approaches,\r\nhealing may remain elusive. This case report\r\ndescribes the use of two complementary secondary closure\r\nmethods, Surgisis Soft Tissue Graft (Cook Biotech\r\nInc, West Lafayette, IN) and the Over-The-Scope-\r\nClipping system (OTSC system; Ovesco Endoscopy\r\nGmbH, Tuebingen, Germany) to resolve a recalcitrant\r\nesophageal fistula.
