Chronic tracheoesophageal fistulas [TEFs] represent one of the greatest challenges for endoscopists [1]. A 63-year-old man diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction was treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and esophagectomy.
He developed two TEFs, which required the implantation of two self-expandable stents and a feeding jejunostomy. The prostheses were withdrawn 3 months later, and a tracheal prosthesis was put in place.
Given the persistence of the fistulas, the patient was referred to our center. Endoscopy and bronchoscopy revealed two fistulous orifices, 8 mm in diameter and 1 cm apart.
