a Fluoroscopic image showing that the 5-Fr sheath (black arrow) was inserted in the stented (AuNP-integrated silicone-covered SEMS) esophagus (arrowhead) over a 0.035-in guidewire (white arrow). b Photograph showing the 1-mm-diameter optic fiber (black arrow) which was inserted through the 5-Fr sheath (arrowhead) with a radiopaque tip (white arrow). c Fluoroscopic image showing that the 5-Fr sheath (arrow) was withdrawn from the stented (AuNP-integrated silicone-covered SEMS) esophagus (arrowhead) with the 1-mm-diameter optic fiber (not visible fluoroscopically) left in place. Dotted line indicates the presumed location of the optic fiber. AuNP, Gold nanoparticle; NIR, Near-infrared; SEMS, Self-expandable metal stent
