Transdiaphragmatic Gastroventricular Fistula

Paul A Carroll et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2019 May.

Abstract

Gastrocardiac fistulae are an exceedingly rare complication following esophagectomy with gastric conduit pull up. Unsurprisingly, there is a significant ascribed mortality with the disease process, often only identified postmortem. We report a case of transdiaphragmatic fistula between the intraabdominal gastric conduit and the right ventricle and surgical management thereof.
