Abstract: We report 5 cases of Boerhaave's syndrome with necrotizing mediastinitis and pleural empyema. We chose a surgical treatment characterized by manual suture and heterologous tissue to repair esophagus rupture. This option allows a better result in terms of morbidity and mortality.

“…Carotenoids, including -carotene and others rich in fruits and vegetables, possess antioxidant and radical scavenging properties [133,134]. Observational epidemiologic studies indicate that diets high in carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables as well as increased serum levels of -carotene are associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer [135,136].…”

It is estimated that a healthy lifestyle and healthy dietary practices could help lower incidence of all cancers by 30-40% [25]. Furthermore, a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and certain micronutrients (e.g., vitamins and calcium) protects against some cancers [26][27][28].…”

Researchers had reported the treatment of thoracic esophageal rupture and with concomitant empyema and mediastinitis [3,4] , but esophagus rupture caused by high pressure gas with concomitant empyema and mediastinitis had never reported.…”
