AIM:To determine the outcome of the management of iatrogenic gastrointestinal tract perforations treated by over-the-scope clip(OTSC)***:We retrospectively enrolled 20 patients(13 female and 7 male;mean age:70.6±9.8 years)in eight high-volume tertiary referral centers with upper or lower iatrogenic gastrointestinal tract perforation treated by OTSC *** tract perforation could be with oval-shape or with *** perforations were closed by OTSC only by suction and the round-shape by the"twin-grasper"plus ***:Main perforation diameter was 10.1±4.3 mm(range 3-18 mm).The technical success rate was 100%(20/20 patients)and the clinical success rate was 90%(18/20 patients).Two patients(10%)who did not have complete sealing of the defect underwent *** upon our observations we propose two types of perforation:Round-shape"type-1 perforation"and oval-shape"type-2 perforation".Eight(40%)out of the 20 patients had a type-1 perforation and 12 patients a type-2(60%).CONCLUSION:OTSC placement should be attempted after perforation occurring during diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy.A failed closure attempt does not impair subsequent surgical treatment.

AIM: To investigate gastrointestinal complications associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAIDs) use in ***: A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted between January 2005 and January 2013, with the participation of 8 Italian pediatric gastroenterology centers. We collected all the cases of patients who refer to emergency room for suspected gastrointestinal bleeding following NSAIDs consumption, and underwent endoscopic evaluation. Previous medical history, associated risk factors, symptoms and signs at presentation, diagnostic procedures, severity of bleeding and management of gastrointestinal bleeding were collected. In addition, data regarding type of drug used, indication, dose, duration of treatment and prescriber(physician or selfmedication) were examined. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients, including 34 males, were enrolled(median age: 7.8 years). Ibuprofen was the most used NSAID [35/51 patients(68.6%)]. Pain was the most frequent indication for NSAIDs use [29/51 patients(56.9%)]. Seven patients had positive family history of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection or peptic ulcer, and 12 had associated comorbidities. Twenty-four(47%) out of 51 patients used medication inappropriately. Hematemesis was the most frequent symptom(33.3%). Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed gastric lesions in 32/51(62%) patients, duodenal lesions in 17(33%) and esophageal lesions in 8(15%). In 10/51(19.6%) patients, a diagnosis of H. pylori gastritis was made. Forty-eight(94%) patients underwent medical therapy, with spontaneous bleeding resolution, while in 3/51(6%) patients, an endoscopic hemostasis was ***: The data collected in this study confirms that adverse events with the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract secondary to NSAID use are also common in
