Fig 1 Patient 15: (A) persistent esophageal leak at the level of the esophagogastric junction after multiple antireflux procedures and attempts to close the leak by surgery and stents; (B) endoscopic view of the diaphragmatic muscle flap (DF) sutured into the debrided esophageal defect; (C) contrast esophagography at day 8 revealing a patent esophagogastric junction without leakage; and (D) control endoscopy at 5 months revealing a well-integrated and epithelialized muscle patch without stenosis.
