Figure 2: (a) Barium swallow following transhiatal mobilization, stricturotomy and fundal patch shows a persistent narrowing in the esophagus at T8 level (white arrowhead). The distal esophagus is normally distended (white arrow) and the fundal patch is seen in the left hemithorax (black arrowhead). (b) Barium swallow following complete stricturoplasty and esophagogastric anastomosis with no evident stricture. The contrast is passive through the native esophagus (white arrow) as well as esophagogastric anastomosis (white arrow)
