  • Title: [Treatment of thoracic anastomotic leaks after oesophagectomy with self-expanding and extractible covered stent].
    Author: Brams A, Bulois P, Maunoury V, Triboulet JP, Mariette C.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 2008 Jan; 32(1 Pt. 1):41-5. PubMed ID: 18405649.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a thoracic anastomotic leak after oesophagectomy for cancer treated by surgical debridement, drainage and an endoscopically placed self-expanding stent. Intrathoracic, covered oesophageal stents appears to reduce leak-morbidity after oesophagectomy and may be considered as a cost-effective treatment alternative.
