Placement of a Self-Expanding Metal Stent to Treat Esophagogastric Benign Anastomotic Stricture via Retroflexed Ultrathin Endoscopy: A Case Report with a Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous studies reported that ultrathin endoscope (UE) provides endoscopic guidance during insertion of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) without fluoroscopic monitoring in patients with upper gastrointestinal stenosis (benign or malignant) or postoperative esophageal leakage. According to the type of SEMS and level of the stenosis, the technique of the procedure is variable. Herein, we report a patient who underwent placement of a distal release esophageal SEMS to treat an esophagogastric anastomotic stricture via retroflexed UE.

Benign esophageal strictures are traditionally treated by endoscopic dilation with bougies or balloons [1,2]. Fully covered, self-expandable, metallic stents (SEMS) have been used in the treatment of benign esophageal disease, with the benefits of removability and low incidence of tissue hyperplasia [3]. However, significant complications, such as stent migration, recurrent stricture, or erosio...
