Abstract:
A 51-yr-old man with a tracheoesophageal fistula from an esophageal carcinoma had two expandable covered stents placed, which migrated distally. After several unsuccessful attempts to remove the stents, we fashioned a homemade snare to entrap and remove the stents under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance.
