Abstract
A novel minimally invasive endoscopic drainage technique using a double-tube system improves the feasibility and safety of conservative treatment in spontaneous esophageal intramural dissection (EID). Two patients with spontaneous EID underwent double-tube system placement through esophagogastroduodenoscopy. One tube was inserted into the submucosal layer with continuous suction, and another nasoduodenal tube was simultaneously inserted for enteral nutritional support. Given the ease of placement and the success of this simple double-tube system method, this technique may provide a new, low-risk, and cost-effective treatment modality for patients with EID. ? 2019 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
