Endoscopic iatrogenic esophageal perforation and management: a retrospective outcome analysis in the modern era.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Iatrogenic esophageal perforation (IEP) is a severe adverse event (AE) of upper endoscopy procedures (UEPs) associated with morbidity. Management has shifted from surgery to endotherapy with clip closure (CC), self-expanding metal stent (SEMS), and vacuum therapy (VT). Limited analyses measure outcomes during contemporary interventional endoscopy periods.

Methods

IEPs associated with EGD, upper EUS, small bowel enteroscopy (SBE), and ERCP at a 3-hospital academic center from January 2011 to December 2023 were identified retrospectively from a centralized AE database. Additional information was obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and STATA.

Results

Thirty-two IEPs from 26 EGDs, 4 EUS, 1 SBE, and 1 ERCP we
