Flexible Bronchoscopy Diagnosis of Uncommon Congenital H-type Tracheoesophageal Fistula, Dual Fistulae, Bronchoesophageal Fistula, and Recurrence of Fistula in Children: A 20-year Experience
Conclusions:
Flexible bronchoscopy should be considered as a first line investigation in uncommon aerodigestive fistulae. In the absence of a skilled bronchoscopist, the best radiologic investigation is a pull-back tube esophagogram but may still require endoscopic confirmation at the time of fistula repair.
