Figure 1 Preoperative findings.
A: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography with oral and intravenous contrast application showing the jugular abscess (indicated by orange arrowheads) and the fully covered self-expandable metallic stent with its proximal end in the fistula (indicated by blue arrowheads); B: Endoscopy showing fully covered self-expandable metallic stent placed in the distal stenotic esophagus with the esophagocutaneous fistula directly orally of the stent. The fistula orifice is partially covered by the stent flare; C: Endoscopy after stent extraction with the large prestenotic fistula orifice (indicated by orange arrowheads); fistula filled with pus; D: Endoscopy after endoscopic vacuum therapy with cleaned fistula (indicated by orange arrowhead). The fistula is entirely epithelized. The distal esophagus segment remains stenotic (indicated by blue arrowheads).
