A pediatric patient with pre-existing esophageal atresia underwent placement of a cook flourish pediatric esophageal atresia device.The subject had type a esophageal atresia.The initial untreated gap measurement was 5.5 cm.At 120 days from birth, the patient underwent thoroscopic mobilization of upper pouch, scharli operation to mobilize distal esophageal pouch and proximal stomach into thorax, right thoracotomy, and pyloromyotomy.During the same procedure, the flourish¿ pediatric esophageal atresia device was placed with the patient under general anesthesia.The length of the resulting esophageal gap was 3 cm.The lower flourish device was repositioned under fluoroscopy at 1 day post-placement, and at 4 days post-placement.Eleven days after placement (131 days of age), anastomosis was achieved, as evidenced by connected flow of contrast agent on esophagram, and the flourish magnets were removed.The first dilation of stricture at the anastomotic site occurred 36 days following device removal.The patient underwent subsequent dilation 49, 61, 74, 91, 98, 112 (+ steroid injection), 133 (+ steroid injection), 158, 180, 207 (+ stent placement, with stent removal at 250 days post-flourish removal), 410, and 729 days following flourish removal.At 524 days and 729 days post-flourish removal, the patient had emergency esophagoscopy for food impaction.The subject of this report is the stricture treatment.

The following was originally reported: "a pediatric patient with pre-existing esophageal atresia underwent placement of a cook flourish pediatric esophageal atresia device.The subject had type a esophageal atresia.The initial untreated gap measurement was 5.5 cm.At 120 days from birth, the patient underwent thoroscopic mobilization of upper pouch, scharli operation to mobilize distal esophageal pouch and proximal stomach into thorax, right thoracotomy, and pyloromyotomy.During the same procedure, the flourish¿ pediatric esophageal atresia device was placed with the patient under general anesthesia.The length of the resulting esophageal gap was 3 cm.The lower flourish device was repositioned under fluoroscopy at 1 day post-placement, and at 4 days post-placement.Eleven days after placement (131 days of age), anastomosis was achieved, as evidenced by connected flow of contrast agent on esophagram, and the flourish magnets were removed.The first dilation of stricture at the anastomotic site occurred 36 days following device removal.The patient underwent subsequent dilation 49, 61, 74, 91, 98, 112 (+ steroid injection), 133 (+ steroid injection), 158, 180, 207 (+ stent placement, with stent removal at 250 days post-flourish removal), 410, and 729 days following flourish removal.At 524 days and 729 days post-flourish removal, the patient had emergency esophagoscopy for food impaction.The subject of this report is the stricture treatment." it was originally reported that the above dilations, injection, stent placement, and esophagoscopies were a number of days "post-removal" of the flourish.New information was received on 08/01/2023 from the user facility that clarified these dates should be "post-placement" of the flourish, not "post-removal" of flourish.
