A patient with stent embedding after placement of an esophageal stent for an esophagobronchial fistula was treated with an ST-E plastic tube inserted into the esophagus to the upper end of the stent using gastroscopy.The gastroscope was guided into the esophagus through the ST-E tube,and an alligator forceps was inserted into the esophagus through the ST-E tube alongside the gastroscope.Under gastroscopy,the stent wire was grasped with the forceps and pulled into the ST-E tube.When resistance was met during withdrawal,the gastroscope was guided further to the esophageal section where the stent was embedded.Biopsy forceps were guided through a biopsy hole in the gastroscope to the embedded stent to remove silicone membranes and connection threads linking the Z-shaped wire mesh.While the lower section of the Z-shaped stent was fixed by the biopsy forceps,the alligator forceps were used to pull the upper section of the metal wire until the Z-shaped metal loops elongated.The wire mesh of the stent was then removed in stages through the ST-E tube.Care was taken to avoid bleeding and perforation.Under the assistance of an ST-E plastic tube,an embedded esophageal metal stent was successfully removed with no bleeding or perforation.The patient experienced an uneventful recovery after surgery.Plastic tube-assisted gastroscopic removal of embedded metal stents can be minimally invasive,safe,and effective.
A patient with stent embedding after placement of an esophageal stent for an esophagobronchial fistula was treated with an ST-E plastic tube inserted into the esophagus to the upper end of the stent using gastroscopy. The gastroscope was guided into the esophagus through the ST-E tube, and an alligator forceps was inserted into the esophagus through the ST-E tube alongside the gastroscope. Unde Gastroscopy, the stent wire was grasped with the forceps and pulled into the ST-E tube. Resistance was met during withdrawal, the gastroscope was guided further to the esophageal section where the stent was embedded. Biopsy forceps were guided through a biopsy hole in the gastroscope to the embedded stent to remove silicone membranes and connection threads linking the Z-shaped wire mesh. Whilst the lower section of the Z -shaped stent was fixed by the biopsy forceps, the alligator forceps were used to pull the upper section of the metal wire until the Z-shaped metal loops elongated. The wire mesh of t he stent was then then removed in stages through the ST-E tube. Care was taken to avoid bleeding and perforation. Under the assistance of an ST-E plastic tube, an embedded esophageal metal stent was successfully removed with no bleeding or perforation. patient experienced an uneventful recovery after surgery. Plastic tube-assisted gastroscopic removal of embedded metal stents can be minimally invasive, safe, and effective.
