Novel lumen-apposing stent to treat benign esophageal stricture.
A 58-year-old patient underwent an esophageal epiphrenic diverticulum resection with a video thoracoscopic approach. The surgery was complicated by an esophageal pleural fistula, which was successfully treated using a fully covered self-expandable metal stent. One week after stent removal the patient experienced dysphagia and vomiting. The endoscopy showed a short esophageal stenosis in the pro...
متن کاملEndoscopic Balloon Dilatation of Benign Esophageal Stricture—A Nonhazardous Procedure?
Balloon dilatation of benign esophageal strictures has been widely used since its introduction. We have performed 224 dilatation procedures in 52 patients. Dilatation was done as an outpatient procedure. Strictures were due to reflux esophagitis in 25 patients, anastomatic stenosis in 6, achalasia in 5, complications of sclerotherapy in 5, corrosive lesions in 3, and long-standing nasogastric i...
متن کاملAortoesophageal fistula following Polyflex stent placement for refractory benign esophageal stricture.
Barrett’s esophagus, spinal kyphosis, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, who had been treated with mediastinal radiation 25 years before, presented with a radiation− induced, refractory benign esophageal stricture that had shown only a limited response to monthly balloon dilations. Endoscopy identified an esophageal stric− ture extending from 21 cm to 23 cm. After controlled radial expansion balloon dila−...
متن کاملTracheoesophageal fistula following implantation of a biodegradable stent for a refractory benign esophageal stricture.
able esophageal stents provide a new alternative in the treatment of patients with benign refractory esophageal stenoses. Despite encouraging preliminary results published in a small series of case reports [1–4], potential complications of biodegradable stents, like those seen with self-expandable plastic stents (SEPS) and self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS), have not been addressed yet. We ...
متن کاملAdenocarcinoma of a colonic interposition graft for benign esophageal stricture in a young woman.
There are more than 5000 cases of caustic ingestion in the United States annually [1]. About one-third of these patients subsequently develop esophageal strictures [2]. The colon has a good blood supply, is long enough to be pulled up to the neck, has a low incidence of disease, and is resistant to gastric secretions [3]. Therefore, it is usually the preferred source of tissue for esophageal re...
