A gastroscope was introduced per os, and an ultrathin gastroscope was introduced retrogradely, until esophageal occlusion.

After transillumination and X-Ray guided endoscopic alignment, a tunnel through the disconnected esophagus was performed using the electrocautery of “Hot Axios” stent. Axios stent was deployed but the proximal flange dislodged. A guide wire was introduced and a balloon dilation was performed.

The axios stent was removed and a fully covered stent was deployed, left in place for 4 months and withdrawn with “stent in stent” technique. Despite oral steroids, an esophageal stricture developed, that was solved with 4 dilation sessions and intralesional steroids.
