ImpactModerate impact

The focus on EVT as a less invasive treatment with room for development points to a meaningful potential impact, although it's still in early or investigational stages.

Abstract in brief

The study reviewed how effective endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) is for treating leaks at surgical connect points in the upper GI tract, finding a success rate of about 74%.
Most patients were around 66 years old, and the majority had surgery involving repair of the esophagus or stomach, with EVT generally taking about a month to work.
EVT showed promise as a less invasive option that might help avoid more major surgeries, but more research and experience are needed to improve success rates further.
