  • Title: Esophago-airway fistula in AIDS.
    Author: Temes RT, Wong RS, Davis M, Kessler RM, Wernly JA.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1995 Aug; 60(2):440-2. PubMed ID: 7646113.
    Abstract:
    Fistula formation between the esophagus and airway in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is extremely unusual. We report 2 cases, the first in a patient who did not undergo definitive surgical management and died shortly after diagnosis. The second patient was managed successfully for 5 months by insertion of a Celestin endoesophageal prosthesis. This procedure can be performed with low morbidity and mortality, and may become the treatment of choice for this complex problem.
