Stents for esophageal disease

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2002
Esophageal malignancies presenting with dysphagia from luminal obstruction generally are not resectable for cure, and palliative therapy is the primary focus. Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) have replaced plastic stents as a primary mode of palliation for malignant esophageal obstruction because of the relative ease of insertion, lower initial ...

Eosinophilic esophagitis: an immune-mediated esophageal disease

Immunologic Research, 2013
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an emerging disease defined by esophageal dysfunction, by typical endoscopic findings and by abnormal eosinophilic inflammation within the esophagus. Eosinophilic accumulation in the esophagus occurs as a result of esophageal overexpression of pro-inflammatory mediators, including T cells and mast cells, cytokines such

Eosinophilic esophagitis: the newest esophageal inflammatory disease

Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2009
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic esophageal inflammatory disease of undetermined pathophysiology that results in dense mucosal eosinophilia and esophageal dysfunction. In childhood, vague symptoms associated with GERD and feeding difficulties are the first manifestations of EoE. Adults typically present with dysphagia and food impaction.

ESOPHAGEAL REPLACEMENT FOR END-STAGE BENIGN ESOPHAGEAL DISEASE

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1997
The fact that esophageal resection and foregut reconstruction for benign disease can be performed with only a 2% mortality and minimal morbidity is encouraging news to patients who are crippled by the various manifestations of end-stage disease. The continuation of slow, anxious, and socially restricted alimentation or the maintenance of nutrition by ...
