Iatrogenic esophageal perforation (IEP) is a potentially serious adverse event of interventional endoscopy. The approach to IEP varies from surgical repair for large perforations to conservative treatment for small contained perforations. We report a case of an 18-month-old girl with congenital esophageal stenosis suffering a large esophageal perforation after a trial of stricture dilatation, which was successfully managed by the placement of fully covered stent. Hence, in selected cases, esophageal stent placement is a feasible alternative to invasive surgery in managing IEP.
医源性食管穿孔(IEP)是介入性内镜检查中一种潜在的严重不良事件。IEP的治疗方法从大穿孔的手术修复到小的局限性穿孔的保守治疗各不相同。我们报告一例18个月大患有先天性食管狭窄的女孩,在进行狭窄扩张试验后发生了大的食管穿孔,通过放置全覆膜支架成功治愈。因此,在某些特定病例中,食管支架置入术是治疗IEP的一种可行的替代侵入性手术的方法。
