What are the risks of esophageal stenosis stenting?

The risk of esophageal stenosis stenting includes bleeding, infection, perforation, stent migration, etc.

1. Bleeding

Esophageal stenosis stenting may damage the esophagus or nearby blood vessels during the operation, resulting in bleeding. Severe bleeding may require surgical intervention or blood transfusion.

2. Infection

If the operation is not performed in a sterile environment or improper postoperative care, it may cause infection and even lead to surgical failure.

3.

Stent may compress the esophageal wall during perforation surgery, resulting in esophageal perforation.

4. Stent migration

Improper nursing after surgery may cause stent migration to other positions, resulting in treatment failure.
