- Subjects who have a diagnosis of coagulation disorders and/or are currently on anti-coagulant therapy
- Investigational drug within one month of treatment
Other illness
- History of cancer including melanoma (with the exception of localized skin cancers) within one year of screening.
- History of colorectal cancer within 2 years
- Presence of a rectovaginal fistula
- Presence of an ileal anal pouch and/or history of proctectomy
- Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make it unsafe or unsuitable for patients to undergo Magnetic Resonance (MR) evaluations (i.e., presence of implantable or external MR unsafe device that cannot be removed, body weight exceeding limitations, claustrophobia etc.).
Lab values

- Previous failed surgical intervention, including seton placement at least two weeks prior, or are not candidates for surgical intervention or are not willing to undergo surgical intervention for the management of their fistula.
