“…There are also case reports using a variety of interposing tissue [2,8,12,13,15]. Including this report, 62 patients having endoscopic repair of congenital TEF are reported in literature [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] (Table 2). The overall success rate with various techniques was 60% with a mean number of 2.1 procedures per patient.…”

“…Since then, many reports have described a variety of techniques and obliterating agents ( Table 2). The morbidity from endoscopic repair is minimal to none [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Our study reports two of three successful closures with bronchoscopic application of fibrin glue.…”

“…by the accidental ingestion of dental amalgam, was previously treated unsuccessfully by the placement of a plastic covered stent, metal clips, and fibrin glue injection [2,3,4]. The occluder device consists of a nitinol wire mesh shaped into two umbrellas linked by a metal connecting portion inserted through a catheter.…”
“…15 An alternative approach, reported only in the treatment of pediatric TEF, has been endoscopic closure with the assistance of fibrin glue. 16 The use of the radial forearm free flap for reconstructive purposes in head and neck surgery is well documented. Although pedicled flaps, such as the pectoralis major flaps, have traditionally been used in the treatment of fistulas with oncologic resections, radial forearm flaps have also been used with good success rates in this setting.…”
Use of a fascial free flap to address a persistent acquired tracheoesophageal fistula, when an accompanying stenotic segment is not present, is a viable treatment option.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
