Abstract

We report the case of a 58-year-old man with advanced esophageal cancer successfully treated with a tracheal stent for airway obstruction following chemoradiotherapy. When he presented with an esophago-tracheal fistula, we put a covered esophageal stent in place, but he developed another esophago-tracheal fistula at the oral side of the covered stent 4 months later, so we placed another covered stent into the previous one. After this, the man could eat easily without dysphagia. Fourteen months thereafter, he died of pneumonia. Pathological findings showed no residual tumor. Our report focuses on chemoradiotherapy risk following stent placement and management of complications.
