RESUMO
Impacted esophageal foreign bodies typically first present to the emergency department, with coins being most common in children and food boluses most common in adults. Controversy exists regarding the best treatment options in these cases. We report two cases, one pediatric and one adult, where the use of a novel substitute Hurst dilator constructed of materials regularly found in all EDs was successfully used to treat impacted esophageal foreign bodies.
