Esophageal fistula following esophagectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
We present the case of a 71-year-old man who underwent salvage Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy, following definitive chemoradiotherapy 1 year previously. On postoperative day 9 the patient complained of chest pain, and a CT scan demonstrated extravasation of oral contrast from the gastric conduit into the right chest. A right chest drain and fully covered esophageal stent were placed at this time. Despite these measures, after 8 weeks, the esophageal fistula persisted. Ultimately, fistula closure was achieved using an interventional radiology-guided, endoscopically placed over-the-scope clip (OTSC). The patient had no further complications and was well at 3 months follow-up.
The case reported herein describes this novel, combined-modality approach to esophageal fistula closure.
This case report demonstrates a novel, minimally invasive, multidisciplinary approach to the closure of a post-esophagectomy anastamotic leak.
食管切除术后发生食管瘘与显著的发病率和死亡率相关。
我们报告一例71岁男性患者,该患者在1年前接受了根治性放化疗后接受了挽救性Ivor-Lewis食管切除术。术后第9天,患者主诉胸痛,CT扫描显示口服造影剂从胃管道渗入右胸。此时放置了右胸引流管和完全覆盖的食管支架。尽管采取了这些措施,但8周后食管瘘仍持续存在。最终,通过介入放射学引导、内镜下放置的全覆膜金属夹(OTSC)实现了瘘口闭合。患者无进一步并发症,随访3个月时情况良好。
本文报告的病例描述了这种用于闭合食管瘘的新型联合治疗方法。
