Core Tip

Core Tip: Esophageal stenosis is one of the complications of endoscopic injection for treatment of esophageal varices. The stent embedding into the esophageal mucosa is one of the complications after stenting for esophageal stricture. We present a case of stent adjustment with the aid of a transparent cap after endoscopic injection of an esophageal varices stent.
