Abstract

We present a case of late benign tracheal-gastric fistula treated with a covered tracheal stent. The patient had a previous esophagectomy for cancer. He developed a tracheal-gastric fistula 14 months later after a traumatic intubation during repair of an abdominal incisional hernia. The patient did not want another major operation. We treated the patient with a covered tracheal stent and he had complete resolution of symptoms. We believe this is the first case report of Ultraflex® stent placement for a tracheal-gastric fistula.
