Tracheoesophageal fistula

malignant tracheoesophageal fistula

endoscopy

airway stenting

self-expandable metallic stents

palliative care

Tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare condition that is generally associated with esophageal cancer and sometimes primary airway cancer and involves poor survival and short-term prognosis. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach and stenting is considered first line management for symptom relief and improved quality of life. The article reports the case of a patient with inoperable squamous cell carcinoma of the middle third of the esophagus with successful placement of double esophageal and tracheal stents.
