Official Title: Esophageal Stent Migration With Endoscopic Suture Fixation Compared to Standard Deployment in the Management of Benign Esophageal Pathology: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: Esophageal stents are commonly used for benign esophageal pathology, especially strictures or esophageal mucosal defects such as leaks, fistulae, or perforations. The major limiting factor to stent placement is the high migration rate of the stent. Investigators are trying to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of endostitch in preventing stent migration in benign esophageal disease in comparison with standard, fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS) placement without fixation.
