A NOVEL CASE OF ESOPHAGEAL STENT RETRIEVAL

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presents a unique case of esophageal stent retrieval due to migration issues. The patient initially had dysphagia and strictures in the esophagus. Despite various attempts to treat and stabilize the stent, it continued to migrate. A new stent was then placed to retrieve the dislodged one, with careful manipulation and use of forceps. After several procedures, the old stent was successfully removed, and the new stent remained in place. The use of micro forceps through a pediatric scope proved effective in this retrieval method. The importance of discussing migration risks with patients before such procedures is highlighted.
