Percutaneous gelfoam embolization of chronic enterocutaneous fistulas: report of three cases.
Diseases of the Colon and Rectum 2007 Februrary
PURPOSE: A relatively simple radiologically guided method for the treatment of enterocutaneous fistula by gelfoam embolization is described.
METHODS: Three cases of chronic enterocutaneous fistula are presented. In each case, a sheath was positioned with its tip at the enteric opening of the fistula. Gelfoam was injected to occlude the fistula at its enteric opening.
RESULTS: In each case, there was successful closure of the fistula.
CONCLUSIONS: Radiologically guided embolization with gelfoam is a safe, relatively simple procedure, which may be useful in the treatment of chronic enterocutaneous fistula.
