Introduction: Perforation during dilation of a refractory stricture can be challenging to manage endoscopically due the friable and fibrotic nature tissue. The Dual Action Tissue (DAT) clip is novel through-the-scope (TTS) closure device designed for endoscopic mucosal defects. Its unique trademark are 2 independently-operated jaws which allow controlled approximation distant opposing tissue edges. While there emerging literature on use DAT clips resection defects, limited knowledge...
