Event Description
According to the reporter, the patient's esophagus was perforated during the procedure for diagnostic/dilation.It was noted that egd (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) did not show very tight les (lower esophageal sphincter).The catheter was inserted and showed di 0.3-0.5.The physician was confused, as the numbers did not match what was seen on egd or barium swallow.The physician wanted to do empiric dilation because the patient was symptomatic, a typical chest pain after eating.Dilation went okay with the dilation catheter ¿ 60cc, 24.4cm.There was no scope during dilation and after, the scope was inserted and did not see obvious perforation, but it saw a good amount of bleeding that was more than usual.The patient did well after, had a mild chest discomfort and went home.The next day, the patient experienced more chest pain, left chest, got barium swallow, not definitive for perforation.A ct scan on the next day showed extravasation of contrast (leak).The patient was admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks on antibiotics and npo (nothing by mouth) for few days.A repeat ct scan still showed leak, so patient was put in esophageal stent.The endoscopist at that time stated that the tear looked to be 7cm, but the physician did not believe it was that big or else the patient would have been much more symptomatic.Another repeat ct/barium showed no leak, so the patient went on advance diet and went home after 2 weeks.The patient had retching/vomiting, so the tear might have gotten larger due to that.
