Pulmonary vein pseudoaneurysm secondary to oesophageal stent displacement

Abstract

Oesophageal stents allow endoscopic treatment of several oesophageal disorders. Although oesophageal stents are generally safe, early and late adverse events may occur. We present a previously unpublished complication consisting of a pulmonary vein pseudoaneurysm secondary to an oesophageal stent displacement.
