Abstract
Management of oesophageal leaks is controversial. Covered self-expandable-metallic stents have been used for several conditions, but migration of the stents is frequent. We report the case of a patient with post-surgery oesophageal fistula in which, to prevent dislocation, a covered self-expandable-metallic stent was fixed externally using a polypectomy snare.
