“…Yalcinozan et al reported a case of post-intubation TEF in which a fascia lata graft was successfully used as a reinforcement material for the esophageal anastomosis. At 12-months follow-up, the patient showed no food aspiration or dyspnea, confirming the effectiveness of the technique ( 10 ). The attempt of an endoscopic repair of TEF using autologous fascia lata had not been described.…”

IntroductionRadiotherapy and esophageal stenting are usually employed to manage esophageal localization of distant cancer. However, they are also related to the occurrence of an increased risk of tracheoesophageal fistula. Tracheoesophageal fistula management in these patients involves dealing with poor general conditions and short-term prognosis. This paper presents the first case in literature of bronchoscopic fistula closure through an autologous fascia lata graft placement between two stents.Case report and aimA 67-years-old male patient was diagnosed with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma in the inferior lobe of the left lung with mediastinal lymph node metastasis. After a multidisciplinary discussion, bronchoscopic repair of tracheoesophageal fistula with autologous fascia lata was decided without the removal of the esophageal stent due to the high risk on the esophagus possibly related to such a procedure. Oral feeding was progressively introduced without the development of aspiration symptoms. Videofluoroscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy were performed at 7 months showing no signs of tracheoesophageal fistula patency.ConclusionThis technique might represent a low risks viable option for patients unsuitable for open surgical approaches.

“…The use of a fascia lata graft for TEF repair through a transcervical approach has been reported by some authors ( 10 – 12 ). Nevertheless, these reports focused on benign TEF and their primary outcome was to obtain a long-term closure.…”

“…Several surgical approaches are described in the literature ranging from endoscopically assisted surgery with direct suture to open surgical techniques such as primary repair and tracheal resection and anastomosis or lateral cervical approaches with direct closure of trachea and esophagus with or without interposition of a pedicled muscle flap or synthetic patch or fascia [5,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Non-surgical approaches, such as the use of a self-expanding esophageal stent and endoscopic glue, have also been proposed [22].…”
