Core Tip	Herein we present the endoscopic closure of a gastro-colic fistula in a severely malnourished patient with complex post-surgical upper Gastrointestinalanatomy using the over-the-scope-clip (OTSC-system). The OTSC-system is an endoscopic clipping device made of Nitinol, which allows for treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding and the closure of perforations, anastomotic leaks and fistulas. In addition, we show the usefulness of placing a direct jejunostomy using the double balloon enteroscopy technique during the same procedure.
