Chennai doctors use cardiac device to treat rare colovaginal fistula

Doctors successfully treated a rare colovaginal fistula in a 73-year-old woman using a cardiac device. The novel approach involved using a heart defect closure device to seal the abnormal connection between the colon and vagina, a condition that persisted despite previous surgeries.
