Abstract

Esophageal perforation is a clinical condition that in the past was usually managed with surgical intervention. The application of clips and self-expanding removable plastic stents facilitated conservative treatment of esophageal perforation. Here we present 3 cases with esophageal perforation treated with self-expanding plastic stents or clips.
