  • Title: Adult congenital bronchoesophageal fistula.
    Author: Cooperman R, Paragi PR, Shah S.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2007 Aug; 55(5):334-6. PubMed ID: 17629871.
    Abstract:
    Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare anomaly that requires surgical repair. A case of an incidental type II congenital bronchoesophageal fistula in a 58-year-old woman is reported. Barium swallow, esophagoduodenoscopy, bronchoscopy, and computed tomography of the chest demonstrated a bronchoesophageal fistula. Thoracotomy and resection of the fistula with reinforcement of the esophageal staple line achieved healing without postoperative complications.
