Boerhaave Syndrome Treatment with a Fully-Covered Metallic Stent
A 32-year-old male presented with posterior thoracic pain shortly after choking with water.
His initial clinical observation was unremarkable.
Blood results showed leukocytosis 21.2000/mm3 and normal C-reactive protein.
Thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed a small pneumomediastinum originating from a rupture of the mid-distal left esophageal wall, consistent with Boerhaave syndrome. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were started.
Upper endoscopy showed a 2-centimetre wall defect in the mid-distal esophagus. A self-expandable fully-covered metallic stent 23x125mm was placed and fixed proximally with metallic clips.
The patient had a favorable clinical evolution. A CT performed on day 5 showed no signs of mediastinal air or collections.
