Grundy A, Glees JP.
Expanding oesophageal stents are now widely used in the management of malignant obstruction of the oesophagus. Stents have occasionally been used in the management of benign oesophageal disease. Reported complications of oesophageal stent insertion include food impaction and tumour ingrowth and overgrowth. There have been 22 reported cases of bleeding, which was fatel in 18 of these cases. There has been one previous report of an oesophageal stent eroding into the aorta. PMID: 9486053(full text)

Endoscopic placement of self-expanding metal stents is regarded as a safe and effective method of palliating obstructive esophageal malignancies. We report here the case of a 49-year-old woman with an inoperable squamous-cell carcinoma located in the mid-esophagus. After two courses of chemotherapy, a silicone-covered Gianturco-Z stent was placed because of progressive tumor growth. Eighteen days after the stent placement, the patient presented with hematemesis, and died 24 hours after admission. At autopsy, the proximal end of the stent was found to have perforated through the normal esophageal mucosa into the aorta, resulting in an aortoesophageal fistula. This complication should be considered in patients who present with massive hemorrhage after undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or both, before stent placement in the mid-esophagus.PMID: 9270927

Tsai PP, Chen JH, Huang JL, Shen WC.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to describe the imaging features of cardiac arrest that occur during CT. CONCLUSION: CT features of cardiac arrest are characterized by a pooling of contrast agent in the dependent parts of the right side of the body, including the venous system and the right lobe of the liver. If medical professionals are aware of these specific imaging features, prompt cardiac resuscitation can be initiated to avoid permanent brain damage and death. PMID: 11959708
