Objective: To provide clinical reference by summarizing and analyzing characteristics, therapeutic principles and methods for special cases of esophageal foreign bodies.
Method: Statistical analysis 182 cases with esophageal foreign bodies, including 41 special cases. Surgery 165 cases, 17 cases without surgery.
Result: One hundred and seventy-five cases were cured, 7 cases improved. Hospitalization time 0.5-50 d (average 4.5 d).
Conclusion: It is important to learn about characteristics of esophageal foreign bodies, therapeutic principles and methods for special cases, and it's a key point to diagnosis early and remove the foreign bodies as soon as possible, and comprehensive treatment measures are really effective to process special cases.

Fatal complications of aortoesophageal fistula caused by pseudoaneurysm following esophageal stent placement: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Gastroenterology, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital, Chongqing, China.
Rationale: Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an exceedingly rare yet critically life-threatening condition, with mortality rates nearing 100% if not addressed promptly. AEF often develops in the context of thoracic aortic aneurysms, esophageal malignancies, or as a complication of foreign body ingestion and prior thoracic aortic surgeries. This study reports an exceptionally severe and clinically rare case of AEF associated with a pseudaneurysm induced by esophageal stenting.

Curr Gastroenterol Rep
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and New York- Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, 630 West 168Th Street, New York, NY, PH17-105H10032, USA.
Purpose: To propose a gastrointestinal bleeding management algorithm that incorporates an endoscopic and imaging scoring system and specifies management of vascular complication from button battery ingestion.
Recent Findings: Button batteries (BB) are found in many electronic devices and ingestions are associated with serious complications especially in cases of unwitnessed ingestions, prolonged impaction, and in children less than 5 years of age. Gastrointestinal bleeding from BB related vascular injury is rare but often rapidly fatal, with a mortality rate as high as 81%.
Esophageal Candida Infection and Esophageal Cancer Risk in Patients With Achalasia.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Importance: Patients with achalasia face a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer (EC), but the surveillance strategies for these patients remain controversial due to the long disease duration and the lack of identified risk factors.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of esophageal Candida infection among patients with achalasia and to assess the association of Candida infection with EC risk within this population.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients with achalasia diagnosed at or referred for treatment and monitoring to the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, between January 1, 1980, and May 31, 2024.
"INSERT-COIN": A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF COIN INGESTION IN CHILDREN OF SOUTHERN ITALY.
Am J Gastroenterol
December 2024
Pediatric Clinic, Department of Surgical and Biomedical Sciences, University of Perugia, 06123 Perugia, Italy.
Background And Aims: Coins are the most commonly ingested foreign bodies. When they get stuck in the distal esophagus there is no general agreement about the timing of their removal, since some of them may spontaneously migrate into the stomach, no longer requiring removal. We aimed at evaluating the gastric spontaneous passage of esophageal-retained coins, as well as complications.
