Endo-luminal coated stent for early spontaneous rupture of esophagus
Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Spontaneous esophageal rupture (SER) is extremely rare15% and early symptoms of the disease are similar to those of emergency diseases of the chest and abdomen. The SER is life-threatening injury because of delay in diagnosis and rapid progression to septic condition.Without esophageal repair, the mortality is reported to be from 75 to 90%but with surgical or non surgical treatment the mortality decrease to 21%. SER is commonly seen in chronic alcoholic and mostly presented with forced vomiting or chest pain. The endo-luminal stents result in rapid leak occlusion, provide the opportunity for early oral nutrition and may significantly reduce hospital length of stay.The endo-luminal stents are removable, and avoid the potential morbidities of operative repair. Endo-luminal esophageal stent placement is an effective treatment of most SRO withminimal evidence of sepsis.
