Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We herein describe a 41-year-old man with esophageal cancer who developed three esophagorespiratory fistulas (ERFs) that were successfully treated using one esophageal and three airway stents. A self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) was initially inserted into the esophagus to close an ERF in the right bronchus. However, two new ERFs developed in the trachea and the left main bronchus 3 months later because of pressure necrosis and penetration of the esophageal SEMS. These secondary ERFs were subsequently closed using two silicone stents, together with one SEMS in the airway. This experience suggests that appropriate stenting can control multiple and large ERFs. |
