Article Synopsis
- Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is a rare problem that can make it hard to swallow and can lead to dangerous complications like choking.
- A 93-year-old woman with a 6 cm ZD lost a lot of weight due to her swallowing issues and got sick with aspiration pneumonia, which needed a special feeding tube.
- Doctors found a dental prosthesis stuck in her diverticulum, removed it, and then performed a successful procedure to treat the ZD, allowing her to eat normally again after a short hospital stay.

On several occasions the patient required fulguration of these lesions with conventional APC, which resulted in no clear improvement. Radiofrequency ablation of these lesions was then attempted using a 90-degree probe, which was successful on antral angiodysplasias but failed to remove lesions in the cardial and subcardial region since anatomy there prevented proper apposition of the probe onto the target mucosa.
