Acquired tracheoesophageal fistula

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1978
This is a case of an acquired tracheoesophageal fistula induced by a large foreign body in a 5-yr-old child. The foreign body, a large plastic ear from a doll, was lodged in the esophagus and its presence remained unknown for weeks, until tracheoesophageal fistula actually developed.

Recurrent Tracheoesophageal Fistula

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1973
Abstract 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

The American Journal of Surgery, 1960
Abstract A case of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula without associated esophageal stenosis is presented. Corrective surgery was performed twenty-three months after initial repair of a tracheoesophageal fistula. The rarity of the condition, the fact that it is amenable to surgery, and belief that many cases of recurrent pneumonitis and faulty ...

Malignant Tracheoesophageal Fistula

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984
Malignant 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.

Recurrent Tracheoesophageal Fistula

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2013
Repair 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

Cervical tracheoesophageal fistula

The Laryngoscope, 1983
AbstractFour unusual cases of cervical tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are presented. The incidence, diagnosis and treatment of cervical TEF are discussed. Surgically, if the location is above the level of T2 a cervical approach may be utilized.The cases included a cervical “H” type TEF occurring in an adult.

Anesthesia for Tracheoesophageal Fistula

2021
A tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a communication that is congenital or acquired between the trachea and esophagus. The reported incidence of TEF or esophageal atresia (EA) is roughly one to two per 5,000 live births. The first successful surgery for TEF was in 1939.

Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1980
Fifty-seven babies were surgically treated for esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula between 1968 and 1978. Forty-eight (84%) had proximal esophageal atresia and a distal tracheoesophageal fistula, 2 (4%) had proximal and distal esophageal atresia and no tracheosophageal fistula, and 7 (12%) had a tracheosophageal fistula without esophageal ...

Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair

2018
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) with esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital malformation occurring in approximately 1:4,000 live births. TEF/EA is characterized by disrupted continuity of the esophagus. There are five distinct types, but the most common is EA with a distal TEF.

Isolated Tracheoesophageal Fistula

1974
The first report of a tracheoesophageal fistula without atresia appears to be LAMB’S paper in 1873; the lesion was diagnosed at autopsy in a 7-week old infant. The first successful closure of a fistula appears to have been performed by Imperatori in 1939 via a transtracheal route, in a 6-year old child.
