Modified stent for the treatment of tracheomegaly combined with a tracheoesophageal fistula: a case reportStent
Cir Cir. 2023 Mar 22. doi: 10.24875/CIRU.22000285. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are common in clinical practice and we address them in different ways according to their etiologies. Herein, we present a case of tracheomegaly combined with a TEF after long-term tracheotomy. We placed a modified silicone stent into the trachea to simultaneously cover the fistula and maintain an artificial airway for ventilation. After migration of the modified stent, we replaced it with a prolonged tracheotomy tube. This modified stent is a novel clinical attempt at addressing TEFs that should be more thorou...
