Endoscopic therapy for Zenkers's diverticulum by means of argon plasma coagulation.

Abstract:

:We describe a 80-year-old man who presented with progressive dysphagia because of a Zenker's diverticulum. Barium swallow study revealed a large posterior diverticulum with a distal stenosis of the esophagus caused by compression. Because the patient was a poor candidate for surgery an endoscopic therapy was performed. The Zenker bridge was divided by argon plasma coagulation in two sessions without any complication to allow an overflow. The patient remained asymptomatic to date for a follow-up of 6 months.
