Tracheal penetration and tracheoesophageal fistula caused by an esophageal self-expanding metallic stent.
[esophageal squamous cell carcinoma]
Tracheal
penetration
of
esophageal
self-expanding
metallic
stents
(
SEMS
)
with
/
without
tracheoesophageal
fistula
(
TEF
)
formation
is
a
rare
occurrence
.
We
report
the
case
of
a
66
-
year
-old
female
patient
with
advanced
esophageal
squamous
cell
carcinoma
who
had
undergone
palliative
esophageal
stenting
on
three
occasions
for
recurrent
esophageal
stent
obstruction
.
On
evaluation
of
symptoms
of
breathing
difficulty
and
aspiration
following
third
esophageal
stent
placement
,
tracheal
erosion
and
TEF
formation
due
to
the
tracheal
penetration
by
esophageal
stent
were
diagnosed
.
The
patient
was
successfully
managed
by
covered
tracheal
SEMS
placement
under
flexible
bronchoscopy
.
