ABSTRACT
Esophagoplasty in patients with esophageal cancer remains an extremely high-risk operation. This is due not only to the invasiveness of the operation, but also to the need for adequate blood supply to the gastric tube moved to the posterior mediastinum. The course of a new coronavirus infection is characterized by a high risk of thrombotic and thromboembolic complications, including after surgical interventions. The aim is to present a clinical observation of the development of a lethal complication of esophagoplasty - gastric graft necrosis in a convalescent patient with a new coronavirus infection COVID-19.Copyright © 2022 GEOTAR Media.
