The fistula orifice is partially covered by the stent flare; C: Endoscopy after stent extraction with the large prestenotic fistula orifice (indicated by orange arrowheads); fistula filled with pus; D: Endoscopy after endoscopic vacuum therapy with cleaned fistula (indicated by orange arrowhead). The fistula is entirely epithelized. The distal esophagus segment remains stenotic (indicated by blue arrowheads).
