A 64-year-old male with absolute dysphagia due to complete esophageal stenosis after oncological treatment of pharyngeal cancer.

  • Retrogradely and through gastrostomy, placement of a balloon immediately bellow the stenosis. Balloon filling up to create an EUS-target.

  • Advancement of echoendoscope to the cul-de-sac. Identification by EUS of the filled balloon-target. Puncture with a 19G Needle and advancement.

  • Simultaneous introduction of 2 scopes performing a combined anterograde and retrograde dilation. Antegrade placement of a metal stent with retrograde supervision.

Comments Technical variant of endoscopic recanalization of a complete esophageal stenosis with the use of a balloon-target.
