Fig. 3B —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 with large postoperative leak and subsequent development of anastomotic stricture. Frontal spot image from repeat upper gastrointestinal study with water-soluble contrast agent 2 weeks after A shows marked healing of leak with small residual extraluminal collection (white arrows) in adjacent mediastinum. Original drain had been removed and replaced by pigtail catheter, which has also migrated through esophagogastric anastomosis (large black arrow) into lumen of proximal intrathoracic stomach. Note how end of catheter (small black arrow) overlies lumen.
