Patients with traumatic esophageal perforations treated with endoscopic vacuum therapy (evt) had significantly shorter treatment duration than those treated with endoscopic self-expandable metal stent (e-sems). However, e-sems led to a shorter time of hospitalization and lower costs. Both methods had similar clinical outcomes, with high discharge rates.

Among 3,785 patients who had emergency general surgery after acute pulmonary embolism, those operated on at least 60 days later had markedly fewer major adverse events (adjusted OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.37–0.55).
Patients who needed emergency general surgery within 60 days of a pulmonary embolism had more major complications than those operated on later, in a national database study.
After major emergency abdominal surgery, patients who develop lung complications face much higher death risk, most sharply in the first days.
