Complete esophageal obstruction developed after radiation and endoscopic submucosal dissection therapy for a cervical esophageal cancer in a 77-year-old woman. After failure to recanalize the esophageal obstruction by endoscopic and catheterization techniques, the esophageal obstruction was penetrated using a trocar stylet needle via a gastrostomy route. A covered stent was placed across the esophageal obstruction, letting her take water and liquid food until she died 2 months later. There was no complication related to the procedures except transient chest discomfort and pain that subsided with symptomatic treatment.
