3 Fig 2 Etiology, chronicity, and outcome of patients undergoing esophageal stenting. +One patient had two episodes of stenting for different reasons, thus, n = 24 for etiology. (GBP = gastric bypass; S = successfully treated with esophageal stenting with complete healing; S+ = successful seal with stenting but no healing noted; TE = tracheo-esophageal; U = unsuccessfully treated with esophageal stenting.)
