A Case of Oesophageal Stenting with Simultaneous Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy for Supplementary Feeding in a Patient with Oesophageal Carcinoma

Patients with carcinoma oesophagus often suffer from nutritional deprivement and poor quality life as well as aspiration pneumonia, as a consequence of malignant oesophageal stricture. There are several palliative interventions to overcome such issues. The more recent, but perhaps the most effective one probably is simultaneous implantation of self-expandable mesh-metallic stent into oesophagus and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy performed at upper gastro-intestinal tract endoscopy under anesthesia. Here, we report the first such case from Bangladesh.
