Key result
The use of nickelid titanium devices for forming 109 compression anastomoses in the gastrointestinal tract resulted in an anastomotic leak rate of 2.7% (3 cases) and no fatal outcomes.

Are nickelid titanium devices safe and effective for forming compression anastomoses in the digestive tract?
Nickelid titanium devices can be used to form compression anastomoses in the gastrointestinal tract with a low rate of dehiscence.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support safe GI compression anastomoses in select cases; leaves open need for randomized trials before wider use.
The article contains the results of a study of nickelid titanium devices used for the formation of compression anastomoses in patients with digestive system diseases and describes the techniques of compression fistula formation using these devices. Besides, the article presents clinical experience in the formation of anastomoses between the organs of gastrointestinal tract for the treatment of eighty-seven patients with various pathologies of digestive organs. One hundred and nine compression anastomoses were applied in our clinic. Anastomotic dehiscence was found in three cases (2,7%) which are described in details in the article. In all patients, the devices evacuated from the digestive tract in a natural way. The average period of device rejection accounted for 14 days. Fibrotic scope examination performed after an operation showed that created anastomoses corresponded to the dimensions of used structures. A soft scar by primary healing type was formed on the parts with compression anastomosis. Using nickelid titanium devices for the formation of compression anastomoses between the gastrointestinal organs will improve the quality of fistula formation, reduce mortality and postoperative complications.

Dambaev et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Digestive system diseases (n=87). Nickelid titanium (TiNi) devices was evaluated on Anastomotic dehiscence (leak). The use of nickelid titanium devices for forming 109 compression anastomoses in the gastrointestinal tract resulted in an anastomotic leak rate of 2.7% (3 cases) and no fatal outcomes.
