Endoluminal management of benign bronchoesophageal fistula.
2021
The ideal management of bronchoesophageal fistulas is a debated topic. While open surgical repair remains the most definitive treatment, not all patients are fit for surgery. In this communication, we present a patient who developed a bronchoesophageal fistula 1 year after an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy that involved the native oesophagus and right mainstem bronchus. Endoluminal vacuum therapy was successful at closing this benign bronchoesophageal fistula.
