چکیده
RATIONALE Gastroscopymay not only allow identification of gastric injury, but may also facilitate prompt repair. PATIENT CONCERNS A 39-year-old male patient was admitted 3 hours after abdominal injury caused by penetration of a screwdriver. Physical examination and computed tomography showed no evidence of gastric injury. However, 3000 mL fresh blood was vomited during the subsequent observation period. DIAGNOSES Gastroscopy identified a ruptured artery and gastric perforation. INTERVENTIONS Repaired immediately using titanium clips. OUTCOMES After operation, the patient recovered well without complications. No more bleeding was observed after the operation. LESSON SUBSECTIONS ASPER STYLE Interventional endoscopy has evolved as an effective alternative to primary surgery for treating gastrointestinal perforation.

Endoscopic closure of gastric tube perforations with titanium clips: a four-case report
Perforation of a gastric tube is a rare yet lethal complication after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer treatment. Currently, over-the-scope clip (OTSC) is an effective way to treat gastric tube perforation. Due to the lack of OTSCs, we invented an alternative method composed of a titanium clip and gastroscope. The aim of this study was to describe this novel endoscopic device in the treatmen...
