Abstract

Oesophageal stenting is frequently used as a measure of palliative treatment in oesophageal cancer for the relief of dysphagia . With the advent of new modalities of immunotherapy used concurrently with conventional chemotherapy, the survival of patients with oesophageal cancer being treated with palliative intent has lengthened considerably. Consequently, there is higher likelihood of these patients experiencing stent related complications and surviving with them for longer periods of time. In this case report, we discuss a patient who was diagnosed with stent fracture 21 months after initial stent insertion.

食管支架置入21个月后无症状骨折

食管支架置入术常被用作食管癌缓解吞咽困难的姑息治疗措施。随着免疫治疗与常规化疗同时使用的新模式的出现，以姑息治疗为目的治疗食管癌患者的生存期已大大延长。因此，这些患者出现支架相关并发症的可能性更高，并且存活的时间更长。在本病例报告中，我们讨论了一位在首次植入支架21个月后被诊断为支架骨折的患者。
