  • Title: Late esophageal fistula after pneumonectomy.
    Author: Eng J, Sabanathan S, Mearns AJ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1994 May; 57(5):1337-8. PubMed ID: 8179417.
    Abstract:
    Esophageal fistula formation after pulmonary resection is rare. We present a case of esophagocutaneous fistula 9 years after left pneumonectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the bronchus. This was confirmed on barium swallow and endoscopy. The fistula was sealed successfully with monomeric n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive. The simplicity and effectiveness of this method of management is discussed and the multitude of surgical options considered.
