School ager who choked while eating tacos who is status post esophageal atresia repair 12 years ago

Upper GI of esophageal atresia
AP image from an upper GI shows marked luminal narrowing at the esophageal anastomosis between the dilated proximal esophageal pouch and the distal esophagus with a large filling defect in the proximal pouch. At endoscopy a large piece of meat was removed from above the anastomosis and the anastomosis was successfully dilated.

The diagnosis was a stricture at the esophageal anastomosis after repair of esophageal atresia.
