Esophageal Stent Migration as a Cause of Severe Upper Airway Obstruction
Self-expandable metal esophageal stents (SEMS) are used to provide symptomatic relief of dysphagia, particularly in cancer patients. The advancement of covered SEMS stents has decreased the rate of tumor in-growth complications, unfortunately with the cost of increased migration rates. Complications involving both the airway and gastrointestinal tract have been observed and studied. To date the...
متن کاملExtraluminal migration of an esophageal metal stent causing splenic injury.
A 47-year-old woman developed a large area of anastomotic dehiscence (●" Fig.1a) 3months after sleeve gastrectomy for obesity. A 15-cm fully covered self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) was deployed to cover the anastomotic leak, as a bridge to surgery. This was anchored to the esophageal wall byendosuture (●" Fig.1b).

Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman with esophageal cancer located in the middle part of esophagus was treated with esophagectomy. Two years following the surgery, malignan...
متن کاملFixation of a modified covered esophageal stent: its clinical usefulness for preventing stent migration.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Membrane-covered self-expandable metal stents are effective in preventing tumor ingrowth and stent obstruction in patients with inoperable esophageal cancer, but migration of stents continues to be a major problem. We therefore constructed a modified covered self-expandable esophageal metal stent capable of being fixed using a silk thread. The stent was studied prospec...
متن کاملFully covered self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), partially covered SEMS and self-expandable plastic stents for the treatment of benign esophageal ruptures and anastomotic leaks
BACKGROUND Benign esophageal ruptures and anastomotic leaks are life-threatening conditions that are often treated surgically. Recently, placement of partially and fully covered metal or plastic stents has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment option. We aimed to determine the clinical effectiveness of covered stent placement for the treatment of esophageal ruptures and anastomotic leaks wi...
