Forward-viewing EUS-guided esophageal repermeabilization
Complete esophageal obstruction with associated aphagia is a severe complication of of locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer. Endoscopic combined anterograde-retrograde rendezvous procedure with repermeabilization and dilatation has been increasingly adopted to manage it. However, in cases of a large gap between the proximal and distal esophagus and absence of transillumination, this classical approach is not possible. In this report, we describe a novel, relatively simple and safe method of endoscopic anterograde-retrograde rendezvous esophageal repermeabilization using forward-viewing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). EUS allows clearly targeting of the lumen and puncture, avoiding potential interposed vessels. Specifically, this type of echoendoscope, designed with a short rigid portion and wide angulation capability that increases maneuverability and controlled visualization and puncture in the direct axis of the scope, has an additional advantage in cases such as ours, in which narrowing of both esophageal ends could hamper performance of a puncture with a regular side-viewing echoendoscope.
