Use of Mitomycin C for Refractory Esophageal Stricture following Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair
Esophageal stricture is a well-described complication following tracheoesophageal fistula repair. Herein, we report two patients who had persistent esophageal strictures after several months of repeat balloon dilatations. Each patient was treated with a single application of topical mitomycin C in addition to esophageal dilatation, which resulted in complete resolution of the stricture.
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 کاملUse of a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene catheter balloon to treat refractory esophageal stricture: a novel technique for delivery of mitomycin C.
PURPOSE Endoluminal application of mitomycin C shows promise as a nonsurgical approach to treating recalcitrant stricture but requires precise delivery to prevent mitomycin-mediated injury to adjacent normal mucosa. We describe a novel technique that uses a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene catheter balloon to endoluminally deliver mitomycin C to the target tissue while minimizing nontarget d...
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 کاملFatal aortogastric fistula following fully covered metal stent placement for refractory esophageal stricture.
A 45-year-old woman with a history of systemic sclerosis presented with a postanastomotic gastric tube stenosis 1 year after esophagus resection and gastric tube interposition for a ypT3N1M0 adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. She was also treated with neo-adjuvant chemoradiation therapy [1]. Endoscopy identified a post-anastomotic esophageal stenosis extending from 24cm to 32cm aborally. She had ...
