Technical Variant of EUS-Guided Recanalization For Complete Esophageal Stenosis: Balloon-target Assisted Rendezvous Approach

A novel technique for the treatment of radiation-induced acquired esophageal atresia in patients with head and neck cancer

“…Other techniques include submucosal dissection or EUS-guided needle puncture to create a neoesophagus. 4 The latter 2 techniques tend to create "unnatural" nonepithelialized tracts through altered anatomic planes, which may become a harbinger for serious adverse events such as osteomyelitis or paraspinal abscesses. We hereby describe a case series using a novel straightforward technique in reestablishing patency in patients with acquired esophageal atresia.…”
