Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) is generally indicated to superficial esophageal neoplastic lesions less than one-third of the esophageal circumference due to the concerns of esophageal stricture. Fully-covered self-expandable stent and steroid injection have been conventional preventive methods for esophageal stricture. Recently, an esophageal stent coated with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet is emerging for the promising options to prevent the esophageal stricture. Here, we report the unusual case of a 17 cm-long and 360-degree circumferential ESTD for esophageal cancer and PGA sheet-coated esophageal stents placement to prevent the esophageal stricture.
