Total loss of the covering of a metallic stent during esophageal leak treatment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 41-year-old man underwent a Heller myotomy due to achalasia. An unexpected puncture in the esophageal wall was identified during the procedure. A partially covered 15cm stent (PSEMS) (UltraFlex) was placed at the mucosal defect. It was removed 26 days later and the endoscopic image showed esophageal tissue embedded in the covered portion of the stent. PSEMS covering loss is a rare complication that can have serious consequences.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM The endoscopic placement of self-expandable metallic esophageal stents (SEMS) has become the preferred primary treatment for esophageal anastomotic leakage in many institutions. The aim of this study was to investigate possible risk factors for failure of SEMS-based therapy in patients with esophageal anastomotic leakage. PATIENTS AND METHODS Beginning in 2003, all pa...
متن کاملSelf-Expandable Metal Stent for Closure of a Large Leak after Total Gastrectomy
In recent years, self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) have emerged as a promising treatment alternative for the bridging and sealing of esophageal perforations and extensive anastomotic leaks after esophageal resection or total gastrectomy. A 56-year-old woman underwent a total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y end-to-side esophagojejunostomy for a gastric signet ring cell carcinoma. Ten days later...
متن کاملEsophagojejunal Anastomosis Fistula, Distal Esophageal Stenosis, and Metalic Stent Migration after Total Gastrectomy
Esophagojejunal anastomosis fistula is the main complication after a total gastrectomy. To avoid a complex procedure on friable inflamed perianastomotic tissues, a coated self-expandable stent is mounted at the site of the anastomotic leak. A complication of stenting procedure is that it might lead to distal esophageal stenosis. However, another frequently encountered complication of stenting i...

BACKGROUND A malignant tracheoesophageal/bronchoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a life-threatening complication of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A feeding gastrostomy/jejunostomy had been the most common treatment method for patients with TEF before the era of stenting. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with TEF trea...
متن کاملMega stents: a new option for management of leaks following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy Postoperative leaks occur after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in 1%– 3% of cases [1]. Placement of covered metallic stents is an effective treatment strategy [2,3], but in about 16.9% of cases stent migration occurs [4]. To avoid the complication of stent migration, we have used a large stent (Niti-S Mega esophageal stent; Taewoong Medical, Gyeo...
