Endoscopic patch closure of malignant esophagotracheal fistula using Histoacryl glue

P M Goh et al. Surg Endosc. 1994 Dec.

Abstract

Esophagotracheal fistula is one sequel of advanced carcinoma of the esophagus. Although the pneumatic cuffed tracheoesophageal fistula stent provides satisfactory palliation for fistulas, high fistulas remain a major problem. We report a case of a 64-year-old gentleman with a high fistula that was treated successfully with endoscopic patch closure using Histoacryl glue.
