Description
Xiaerbate Zakeerjiang and colleagues fit a custom stent for a late windpipe leak, in a case from 2026. Leaks between windpipe and gullet after gullet removal plus airway opening are rare events. Standard scopes through the airway hole can miss the leak mouth entirely, as here.
The patient was a seventy-nine year old woman with gullet cancer of squamous type. Dye scans and full airway checks after tube removal at last proved the leak site. A made to measure covered metal stent sealed the hole under scope guidance. Seven weeks on, the stent sat well placed with no food spill repeats. Death came later from spread cancer and drug resistant germs, not the seal.
