TL;DR: There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between patients randomized to nCT and n CRT, however, complications were significantly more severe after nCRT.

Outcomes following the main treatment options in patients with a leaking esophagus: a systematic literature review.
TL;DR: The current literature suggests that a SEMS-based therapy can be successfully applied as an alternative therapeutic strategy in esophageal perforation rupture in cases where none of the failures above occurred.

Predictors for failure of stent treatment for benign esophageal perforations - a single center 10-year experience.
Saga Persson,Peter Elbe,Ioannis Rouvelas,Mats Lindblad,Koshi Kumagai,Lars Lundell,Magnus Nilsson,Jon A. Tsai +7 more
TL;DR: SEMS as an upfront therapeutic strategy seems to be a successful concept, when applied to an unselected group of patients with EPR, indicating an increased risk for failure.

Koshi Kumagai,Ioannis Rouvelas,Annika Ernberg,Saga Persson,Apostolos Analatos,Daniela Mariosa,Mats Lindblad,Magnus Nilsson,Weimin Ye,Lars Lundell,Jon A. Tsai +10 more
TL;DR: Partial stomach partitioning gastrojejunostomy for MGO seems to offer significant advantages in terms of alleviating DGE and improving postoperative recovery compared to CGJ.

Treatment of esophageal anastomotic leakage with self-expanding metal stents: analysis of risk factors for treatment failure
Saga Persson,Ioannis Rouvelas,Koshi Kumagai,Huan Song,Mats Lindblad,Lars Lundell,Magnus Nilsson,Jon A. Tsai +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of possible risk factors for failure of SEMS-based therapy in patients with esophageal anastomotic leakage found continuous leakage after initial stent insertion, decreased physical performance preoperatively, and the development of an esophagotracheal fistula decrease the probability of successful treatment.
