Abstract Background: To analyze the lodging locations of ingested button batteries in the upper gastrointestinal tract of children, common complications and treatment effects. Methods: The clinical data of 14 children with ingested button batteries lodged in the upper gastrointestinal tract were analyzed in our hospital between 2017 and 2019. Results: Among 10 children with ingested button batteries lodged in the first stenosis of esophagus, 9 were cured and 1 suffered from esophagotracheal fistula 12 days after removal. One child with the ingested button battery lodged in the second stenosis of esophagus was dead due to intercurrent aortoesophageal fistula 13 days after removal. Two cases had ingested button batteries lodged in the third stenosis of esophagus, and were cured after removal. The ingested button battery in 1 case was lodged in the gastrointestinal tract, and discharged spontaneously 1 day after hospital admission. Conclusions: Ingested button batteries are mainly lodged in the esophageal stenoses. Longer retention time could induce esophageal fistula. The ingested button battery in the gastrointestinal tract can discharge spontaneously.

Esophageal Stenting

An aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but often fatal complication associated with the placement of an aortic stent graft such as those utilized in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) procedures. Definitive surgical repair of AEF is the treatment of choice, as conservative management is nearly always fatal. We present the case of an AEF in a 74-year-old male managed by a unique treatment method; an esophageal stent was deployed to cover the fistula as a temporizing measure prior to definitive surgical correction, thus allowing time for resuscitation and hemodynamic optimization. The use of esophageal stents in the setting of AEF following TEVAR has been previously reported in the literature as a palliative measure for patients deemed incapable of tolerating open repair surgery. Our case demonstrates a new and innovative approach to the management of AEF following TEVAR in which the use of esophageal stenting is expanded beyond the role of palliative care and should be considered as a means to optimize at-risk patients prior to definitive corrective surgery in the hopes of improving outcomes.

Endovascular Stent Grafting

We report three cases of aortoesophageal fistula (AEF), in which the patients remained free from catastrophic bleeding after endovascular stent-grafting. The three patients, who were not candidates for surgical repair because of their poor general condition and prognosis, underwent endovascular stent-grafting following the administration of antibiotics and were successfully managed; hemostasis was maintained for several months until their death. Although we did not find any conclusive evidence to support this strategy, our experiences suggest that endovascular stent-grafting of AEF is useful for maintaining hemodynamic stability.

First Case

Rupture of the internal carotid artery (ICA) during transsphenoidal surgery is a rare but potentially lethal complication. Direct surgical repair of the ICA may be difficult and time-consuming in an acute setting. Urgent endovascular treatments with vascular plug or stent-graft have been the feasible options to date. We desrcibe two cases of iatrogenic rupture of ICA during transsphenoidal surgery. In the first case we occluded the ICA with a vascular plug at the site of tear where cross circulation was adequate. In the second case we had to preserve the ICA with stent-graft since there was no adequate cross circulation. These two strategies are discussed below.
