Stent placement in a patient with an EBD-induced esophageal perforation (case 14). (A) Esophageal perforation secondary to endoscopic balloon dilatation, the upper oral mucosa of the stricture was torn and bleeding; (B) Stent malapposition occurred 5 days after the first stent implantation; upper gastrointestinal tract radiography revealed that contrast medium infiltrated the mediastinum; (C) The original esophageal stent was replaced by a redesigned stent with larger upper bell mouth; (D) After the second esophageal stent was placed, upper gastrointestinal tract radiography revealed that the fistula was plugged, without contrast medium extravasating.
