Description
A hole between the food pipe and the airway is a dreaded turn in advanced esophageal cancer, and the standard patch, a covered stent, has a habit of slipping. Yuya Nishio and co-authors describe a double-stent fix in 2024 for cases where the first stent slid out early. Their method layers an uncovered metal stent with a fully covered one, each canceling the other's weakness.
In two patients at their hospital, the paired stents held the fistula sealed for the rest of the patients' lives, and both could eat by mouth again. The authors review the literature alongside their cases and argue the trick is simple, adaptable, and worth reaching for when a lone stent migrates.
