Esophageal stenosis after coil embolization of an aortopulmonary collateral artery: report of a very unusual cause

Cardiovascular dysphagia — anatomical and clinical implications

“…With hyoid, larynx and pharynx affected most commonly, signs of incomplete tilting of the epiglottis, pharyngeal weakness and postdeglutitive aspiration can be found [79]. Postoperative dysphagia was reported following vascular ring division [9], type I thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair [33], arterial switch with the Lecompte maneuver [71], coil embolisation of an aortopulmonary collateral artery [8], and thoracic endovascular aortic repair [22]. Acute dysphagic syndrome after thoracic aorta endografting has been anecdotically reported, and its aetiology remains undefined [54].…”
