The primary complications of photodynamic therapy of the esophagus include cutaneous photosensitivity and esophageal strictures. Atrial fibrillation and pleural effusion have been reported but appear to be rare or not clinically significant. Cutaneous photosensitivity can be minimized if the adequate precautions are taken to protect patients from sunlight exposure. Stricture formation may be decreased by proper dosimetry and avoiding multiple overlapping light applications.
食管光动力治疗的主要并发症包括皮肤光敏反应和食管狭窄。已有心房颤动和胸腔积液的报道，但似乎较为罕见或无临床意义。如果采取适当的预防措施保护患者免受阳光照射，皮肤光敏反应可降至最低。通过适当的剂量测定和避免多次重叠光照射，可减少狭窄形成。
