Fig. 9B —62-year-old man with stent placed for palliation of dysphagia
caused by carcinoma of gastric cardia invading distal esophagus. Malpositioned
stent was removed, and a new stent was placed across gastroesophageal
junction. Repeat examination 1 day after first study shows proper positioning
of new stent (black arrows) with proximal half in distal esophagus
and distal half in proximal stomach. Note how distal end of stent (large
white arrow) directly abuts greater curvature of proximal stomach.
Despite this finding, patient's dysphagia was adequately palliated by stent.
Polypoid carcinoma (small white arrows) is seen at gastroesophageal
junction.
