A 62-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of progressive dysphagia and weight loss. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a tumor in the cardia, and a biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. He had a history of recurrent embolic cerebrovascular accidents 3 years ago and underwent warfarin therapy after these events. He was referred for locoregional staging of cardia tumor by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
