Reply to "Suturable bioprosthetic plug for fistula - anyone have any experience?"

Ok folks!  I have experience with this!  My son had a biological plug done last September 2016.  It is not a common procedure.  It was done at Weill Cornell in NYC.  He was only the 13th patient at that facility to have this done.  It was done by Interventional Radiology. He had a fistulia in his small intestine, just at or above the stitching line of his pouch.  I did not remember who the company was that makes these plugs but they are custome made for the patient. There is about a 60% success rate.  I did not read all the responses here as I didn't have a chance but I would suggest that who ever you see has some knowledge or experience.  Like Cleveland clinic, Mayo, or NY.  If I can help further please pm me.
