    Minor complications in POEM are the most frequent and mainly the ones related to gas, Capoperitoneum/mediastinal, in 10% of cases. Deferred bleeding in 0.8%.

    A 56-year-old-male with a family history of von Willebrand disease, POEM is performed due to type-II achalasia.

    On day 10 postoperative develops restrosternal pain and hematemesis. Tac shows a large esophageal collection that compresses the left atrium.

    The cavity is entered, cleaning it of clots until the compression is reduced enough to get into the stomach. The mucosotomy is sutured with Apollo, and a fully covered Stent is positioned, which is also sutured to prevent migration.
