Abstract

The Authors, having observed a case of middle oesophageal web giving rise to severe dysphagia, discuss the aetiopathogenesis, the diagnosis and therapy of these rare oesophageal lesions. Because of its pathological feature, the reported case was succesfully treated by surgical resection of the ring, using a transthoracic approach.

Treatment of a malignant stenosis of the corpus of the stomach with a self-expanding stent.

In a 50-year-old man, a self-expandable stent was implanted under fluoroscopic guidance to treat symptoms of an inoperable carcinoma of the corpus of the stomach. Foreshortening of the stent necessitated implantation of a proximal extension stent 5 weeks later. Secondary symptoms of advanced stage of the disease negatively influenced clinical success of the procedure, although free passage through the stents was achieved. We conclude that stent implantation for palliation of a carcinoma of the corpus of the stomach seems to be a viable method. The operator has to be aware of the special limitations and problems associated with the procedure.

Oesophageal strictures: new indication for intra-aortic balloon pumps?

Oesophageal strictures regardless of aetiology are a difficult and challenging problem facing the oesophageal surgeon. Various methods and techniques have been described and are routinely used in clinical practice with varying rates of efficacy and complications. We describe here a novel graded atraumatic technique for the management of oesophageal strictures using intra-aortic balloon pumps.
