Abstract

Gastrobronchial fistula (GBF) is a rare but serious complication following esophagectomy, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The use of silicone plugs has proven effective in closing bronchial fistulas in other contexts, but its application in GBF has not been widely described. In this article, we report the successful closure of a GBF using a self-made silicone plug under bronchoscopic guidance in a patient with a history of esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. This approach offers a safe, minimally invasive alternative for managing refractory GBF.

硅胶塞治疗食管癌术后胃支气管瘘。
胃支气管瘘(GBF)是食管切除术后罕见但严重的并发症,具有很高的发病率和死亡率。硅胶塞的使用已被证明在其他情况下有效关闭支气管瘘,但其在GBF中的应用尚未被广泛描述。在本文中,我们报告了在支气管镜指导下使用自制硅胶塞成功关闭GBF的患者,该患者有食管癌食管切除术的历史。这种方法为治疗难治性GBF提供了一种安全、微创的替代方法。
