BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Injuries to the esophageal wall, such as perforations
and anastomotic leaks, are serious complications of surgical and endoscopic
interventions. Since 2006, a new treatment has been introduced, in the form of
endoscopically placed vacuum sponge therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between April
2012 and October 2014, 10 patients (5 men and 5 women) aged 57 to 94 years were
treated at our institution using endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in the upper
gastrointestinal tract. RESULTS: The defect in the esophageal wall was
successfully closed in seven of the 10 patients (70?%). No severe complications
occurred. CONCLUSIONS: EVT is a valuable tool for management of defects in the
esophageal wall and should be considered as a treatment option for patients with
this condition.
