Description
Kai Yang and Meng Dai report a rare and deadly case in work published in 2026. After major surgery for cancer near the top of the stomach, their patient formed a hole between the main artery and the food pipe. The team missed it at first, since the signs were odd and an early scan showed nothing.
Care came in planned stages across several teams. A stent placed inside the artery stopped the bleed at once. Later steps closed off the food pipe and rebuilt the food path with a piece of colon. The patient lived more than three years, which shows staged care can beat the grim odds.
