Positioning of a plastic prosthesis under fiberendoscopic control in the palliative treatment of cardio-esophageal cancer.

A method is described for non surgical peroral positioning of a plastic prosthesis under visual control in patients with obstructing cardio-esophageal malignancy or with pulmonary-esophageal fistula. The ACMI-F7 small calibre endoscope is well suited for guiding the prosthesis mainly because of easy maneuvrability and sufficient sturdiness to withstand substantial pushing force.
