A follow up gastrografin swallowing study was performed, which showed the stent in situ with a minute projection of contrast extravasation at the site of the previous perforation with some contrast hold up in the distal esophagus; however the contrast did pass to the stomach (Figure 2).
A gastrografin swallow study done at the time of stent removal which was two weeks after the placement. This image shows complete healing of the perforation and good flow of the contrast from the esophagus into the stomach.
