Case #1. A clear demarcation line between the well-perfused and marginally-perfused conduit was noted (black arrow, a). Postoperative chest X-ray demonstrated right-sided opacification despite an indwelling tube (b), which did not significantly improve with placement of an additional tube (c).

A partially-covered self-expanding metal stent was placed (e), and the conduit healed after 2 serial stents (f)
