Endoscopic fragmentation of an obstructive esophageal stone with pneumatic lithotripsy and holmium: YAG laser: A case report
Author(s): Madhura Chavan, Arun Behl and Pankaj Maheshwari
Abstract: As esophageal foreign bodies are frequently encountered in the emergency department, here we represent an unique case of a chronic obstructive esophageal stone infiltrating the thoracic esophageal wall causing chest discomfort and dysphagia over years, highlighting the multidisciplinary and minimally invasive approach by using combination of pneumatic lithotripsy and holmium: YAG laser to fragment the esophageal stone and retrieve it piecemeal with no post procedural complications signifying its efficacy and safety.
