چکیده
We report a 55-year-old diabetic woman with abdominal pain, pyrexia, and leukocytosis 3 months after aspiration tube placement. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a hypodense mass (10.8 × 7.2 cm) extending into the right anterior abdominal wall. Aspiration of the abscess revealed purulent fluid that grew Streptococcus intermedius. The aspiration tube was removed and 4 endoclips were deployed to close the intragastric stoma. The patient recovered well with 21 days of antibiotics, with resolution of the abscess and full wound healing.

متن کاملThe use of clip anchoring to ensure safe transgastric puncture during endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) was recently developed and has proven to be a useful alternative approach for various intra-abdominal conditions [1–3].
