Overview

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to look at how often anastomotic leaks happen in participants who are at high risk of these leaks and are eligible to receive gastric preconditioning by percutaneous angioembolization before an esophagectomy.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Documentation of Disease
  • Patients must have pathologically confirmed esophageal malignancy requiring esophagectomy.
  • Patients must also have risk factors for anastomotic leak:

  • Salvage esophagectomy OR
  • Planned cervical anastomosis OR
  • Two or more comorbidities:
  • Diabetes, obesity, coronary artery disease, vascular disease (including celiac stricture or atherosclerosis, significant aortic disease, or any previous diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease), steroid use, hypertension, current or former smoker, renal insufficiency, and heart failure.
  • Definition of Disease
  • Patients must have pathologically confirmed esophageal malignancy requiring esophagectomy and risk factors for anastomotic leak, as described above.
