The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
Tracheoesophageal fistula is an uncommon clinical problem, and can be either congenital or acquired in origin. In this report, we present our experience in the management of 41 patients with tracheoesophageal fistula (28 male, 13 female; age ranging from 8 to 69 years) who were seen during the period spanning 1968 to 1989 at the National Research ...

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1973Abstract Three cases of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula have been added to the 64 reported in the literature. Recurrence is suspected in patients with a previous repair who develop recurrent pneumonia, asthmatic attacks, or choking spells. The diagnosis can be established by barium swallow roentgenography or, in difficult cases, by staining of the

Recurrent Tracheoesophageal Fistula
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2013Repair of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistulas (rTEFs) remains a technically challenging endeavor. Although considered the gold standard, open surgical repair is associated with significant morbidity and rates of recurrence. Over the last 40 years, endoscopic techniques have gained popularity and been touted as a safer first line treatment. This review

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984Malignant tracheoesophageal fistula occurs infrequently in patients with esophageal and lung cancer. However, the occurrence of this entity is very distressing for the patient since it leads to rapid deterioration and death due to overwhelming pulmonary infection. A review of cases reported in the recent world literature is presented.

A tracheoesophageal fistula may occur as an isolated congenital or acquired lesion; however, most cases are associated with esophageal atresia at birth. Although the absolute etiology of these lesions is yet to be determined, much has been learned from embryologic studies and syndromic associations.
