Abstract
- Gastropleural fistulas are rare complications with significant mortality and morbidity. There are limited reports on the successful management of gastropleural fistulas with advanced endoscopic procedures. The following case of a 75-year-old woman with a history of recurrent pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm status post cytoreductive surgery highlights the successful treatment of a gastropleural fistula with endoscopic suturing.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.
