title: Treatment of a malignant esophageal perforation with a prototype conical Wallstent.
abstract: A 60-year-old man with a malignant esophageal perforation could not be treated by conventional covered metallic stents because the upper esophagus was dilated. The perforation was eventually closed by deployment of a prototype, conical covered Wallstent.
