“Rendez-vous” over-the-scope endoclipping for tracheoesophageal fistula: case report and review of the literature
2015
Background
Management of tracheoesophageal fistula is challenging and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Malignancy and cuff-related tracheal decubitus are the most common causes of tracheoesophageal fistula. Open surgical division and closure of the fistula orifices with or without tissue interposition has represented the standard of care for decades. Endoscopic management of tracheoesophageal fistula is still debated and only a few cases have been described in the literature.
