Abstract
|
|
|
|
Malignant esophagorespiratory fistula is a devastating and life-threatening complication of esophageal and bronchogenic carcinomas. As a non-surgical treatment, peroral stent placement into the esophagus or airway can close-off the fistula and prevent progression of the pneumonia. Although reopening of the fistula is not uncommon despite stent placement, interventional treatment is effective for sealing off reopened ERFs. Bronchopleural fistula is a well-recognized complication of pneumonectomy. There have been several reports to occlude the fistula with use of stents and much more experience is required.
