Comparing a stent to other endoscopic leak treatments
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a special stent (the Luso-Cor Stent) to other endoscopic procedures to treat leaks or abnormal connections after certain stomach or esophageal surgeries. It aims to find the best way to fix these complications using a scope.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial studies an endoscopic vacuum treatment (a suction device placed through an endoscope) to help heal a leak after surgery where food/drink pathways were connected (an anastomosis). If you had an esophago-gastric leak, this treatment may be part of your care plan and is being studied for effectiveness and safety.
This study follows people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus (esophagectomy) who are at higher risk for a leak where the esophagus is reconnected. The goal is to learn more about who develops leaks and how to prevent them.
This study tests a non-surgical procedure called an endoscopic sleeve (Endosleeve) to help with weight loss in people with obesity. It's done through a scope placed in your mouth and stomach—no cuts needed—and aims to shrink your stomach to help you feel full sooner and eat less.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a particular circular stapled connection between the esophagus and stomach is safe and works well after an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for certain lower esophagus cancers. It may help surgeons improve how the connection is made during surgery.
This study compares two types of stents (metal tubes) placed in the esophagus to help people with advanced esophageal cancer swallow more easily. Both stents are designed to keep the esophagus open and improve quality of life.
This trial tests a special stent device (VacStent) placed through an endoscope to treat leaks that sometimes occur after colorectal surgery. The device may help seal the leak and allow healing without needing another surgery.
