Management of esophageal coins

Abstract: In the symptomatic patient with an esophageal coin, immediate removal via endoscopy is recommended. For the asymptomatic patient with an esophageal coin, current data support expectant management for a period of 12-24 h with the hope of spontaneous passage and avoidance of general anesthesia and surgical procedure.

“…If coins become lodged within the esophagus, they can be observed for 12 to 24 hours if the patient is asymptomatic because they will commonly pass spontaneously. 76 Patients with marked symptoms including drooling, chest pain, and stridor should have emergent intervention to remove the coin. Coins in the distal esophagus are more likely to pass spontaneously than those in the proximal esophagus, with 1 randomized, prospective trial showing passage in 56% of coins in the distal esophagus compared with 27% for coins in the proximal esophagus.…”
