Summary

A rare peptic ulcer in a stomach tube after esophageal replacement led to severe bleeding and heart penetration. Postoperative duodenogastric reflux may be a key factor in this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Cardiovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Esophageal cancer treatment often involves esophageal replacement using a gastric conduit.
  • Complications can arise from the altered anatomy and physiology post-surgery.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old female developed a bleeding peptic ulcer in her intrapleural stomach tube following esophagectomy.
  • The ulcer was excavated, located in the thoracic stomach, and penetrated the right atrium.

Findings:

  • Initial medical management was unsuccessful, necessitating urgent surgical intervention.
  • Suturing the right atrium controlled the bleeding, but rebleeding occurred postoperatively.
  • The patient ultimately died due to complications following reoperation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare but life-threatening complication of gastric conduit reconstruction.
  • Postoperative pH monitoring is crucial to detect duodenogastric reflux disease.
  • Early identification and management of duodenogastric reflux may prevent severe ulcerations.
