摘要
We present a case of intractable dysphagia in a 23-year-old female with type 1 esophageal atresia (EA) and subsequent postsurgical refractory esophageal strictures. The patient was referred due to increasing symptomatology and a slight response to balloon dilations. A biodegradable polydioxanone stent (ELLA) was placed, but this did not relieve the dysphagia. After the sequential placement of two siliconated polypropylene stents (Polyflex (TM) , Boston Scientifics), the dysphagia was definitively relieved.To our knowledge, this is the first published case with a full resolution of dysphagia using this strategy in an adult patient.
