Abstract
Esophageal stents have become an emergent, effective treatment for esophageal perforation, whether spontaneous or iatrogenic. We report a case of iatrogenic perforation secondary to malposition of a Sengstaken-Blakemore balloon (SBB), which was inserted to control acute variceal bleeding. SBB currently has very limited indications in the management of variceal bleeding given the ongoing advances in endoscopic techniques, and its use is not exempt from complications such as the one reported herein.
