Fig. 2B —65-year-old man who underwent esophagogastrectomy and gastric
pull-through. Follow-up studies showed intraluminal migration of surgical
drain through esophagogastric anastomosis into proximal intrathoracic stomach.
Left posterior oblique spot image from repeat upper gastrointestinal study
with water-soluble contrast agent 1 week after A shows surgical drain
entering proximal intrathoracic stomach through esophagogastric anastomosis
(large white arrow) at site of previous leak. Distal end of
drain is barely visible as filling defect overlying lumen (black
arrows). Contrast agent is seen leaking from anastomosis through and
around drain (small white arrow).
