摘要

In the report,we describe a case of refractory benign esophageal strictures from esophageal cancer after an operation for the placement of three partially covered self-expanding metal stents (SEMSs),which were all embedded in the esophageal wall.Using the stentin-stent technique,the three embedded SEMSs were successfully removed without significant complications.To the best of our knowledge,few cases of the successful removal of multiple embedded esophageal SEMSs have been reported in the literature.This case also highlights that the stent-in-stent technique is effective for removing multiple embedded esophageal SEMSs.
