Case Reports

Role of Covered Esophageal Stents in Malignant Esophagorespiratory Fistula

Kit Wong, FRCS, Peter Goldstraw, FRCS

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Royal Brompton Hospital, London, England

Accepted for publication December 7, 1994.

Malignant esophagorespiratory fistulas are distressing for patients who already have a limited prognosis. Palliative treatment by surgical bypass is often unjustified, and although the use of esophageal stents is more appropriate, their results are variable due to their inability to provide a tight seal. We have managed 2 patients with self-expanding covered esophageal stents, which appear to offer excellent prospects for palliation.
