[Endoscopic prosthesis in malignant stenoses of the esophagus and the cardioesophageal junction].
The palliative treatment results in 41 patients presenting intractable malignant stenosis of the esophagus--carcinomas among which one carcinoid and three branchial carcinomas--following endoscopic implantation of a plastic prosthesis (tubus) are analyzed. It is stressed that it is a matter of a palliative method, promptly eliminating the nutritional passage impairment; in case of tracheoesophageal fistula is a method of choice, but leads to a comparatively high incidence of serious complications-perforations of the esophagus (7.3 per cent) all with lethal outcome.
