Summary 

We present a novel case of an elderly patient with a Barrett's adenocarcinoma in the presence of an Angelchik prosthesis. We aim to draw attention to issues relating to metaplastic Barretts’ oesphagus and its adenocarcinoma complications and highlight relevant issues in multimodal endoscopic management and palliation using photodynamic therapy in the presence of the device.

Keywords: Angelchik, Barrett's oesophagus, Photodynamic therapy, Endoscopy, Palliation
