A rare case of acquired benign tracheoesophageal fistula.

ABSTRACT: Acquired benign tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare medical condition that usually results from trauma, foreign bodies or granulomatous infections. This is an unusual presentation of a male patient with a history of laryngectomy who has had over a period of several years inappropriately and vigorously used valve cleaning brushes to clean tracheal secretions, which has led to the formation of a TOF. Due to the patient's obsessive habit, we could not manage him using conventional surgical methods. Instead, we opted for the placement of a salivary bypass tube, which yielded good results and recovery. To the best of our knowledge, no other case of similar aetiology has been published. We would like to highlight the importance of appropriate patient selection and education prior to performing a tracheoesophageal puncture to avoid developing life-threatening complications as demonstrated in our case report.

An Innovative Single Staged Surgical Repair of Benign Tracheoesophageal Fistula – A Case Report

Project description:Tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) is defined as a pathological connection between the trachea and the oesophagus, leading to a spillover of oral and gastric secretions into the respiratory tract causing aspiration. The cause of TOF may be congenital or acquired. In this case report, a 48 years old female with acquired TOF, has been reported. The patient was on ventilator support for COVID-associated pneumonia and its complication with endotracheal tube for 3 weeks and then tracheostomy was done. Post recovery after weaning from the ventilator, the patient was diagnosed with TOF by bronchoscopy and confirmed by CT and MRI. Surgical closure was performed: the oesophageal defect was sutured in 2 layers and Tracheal wall was isolated and a pedicled strap muscle flap sutured into the defect between the trachea and esophagus. The etiology of TOF may be due to traumatic intubation, cuff pressure, or inflammation. A better knowledge about the cause, site, and size of the TOF will help in prompt surgical procedure and recovery of the patient. This single staged surgical closure can be safely performed in the majority of patients with acquired TOF for optimal outcomes.

Tracheoesophageal fistula characterisation

Project description:Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) are relatively frequently occurring foregut malformations with a largely unknown etiology. EA/TEF is thought to have a strong genetic component and several genes have been proven to be involved in syndromic EA/TEF. However, it is not clear which biological processes or gene networks are disturbed. To gain more insight in the origin of the TEF, we aimed to examine and describe TEF composition using a combination of whole-genome transcription profiling and (immuno-) histochemical stainings. We hypothesized that such characterization of human TEFs provides insight in the molecular and mechanistic etiology of EA/TEF. Data analysis was carried out using BRB-array tools version 4.6.0 (October 2018) in combination with R version 3.5.1 (July 2018). For each probe set, the geometric mean of the hybridization intensities of all samples was calculated. The level of expression of each probe set was determined relative to this geometric mean and logarithmically transformed (on a base 2 scale) to ascribe equal weight to gene-expression levels with similar relative distances to the geometric mean.

Congenital high airway obstruction with tracheoesophageal fistula: A case report.

Project description:RATIONALE:Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is defined as complete or partial obstruction of the fetal upper airways. Laryngeal atresia is the most frequent cause. PATIENT CONCERN:A male neonate born with poor reactions, weakly spontaneous breathing and cyanosis of the limbs was referred to our hospital. DIAGNOSIS:CHAOS with tracheoesophageal fistula. INTERVENTION:A tracheostomy was performed and a 3.0-mm internal diameter tracheostomy tube was inserted. OUTCOMES:Neonatal survival depended on our immediate postnatal intervention. LESSONS:In summary, a multidisciplinary team including otolaryngologists, radiologists, obstetricians, and anesthesiologists must be present during the whole diagnosis and treatment process.

Flexible bronchoscopy in diagnosis and management of dual tracheoesophageal fistula: A case series.

Project description:Dual and H-type tracheoesophageal fistulae can present major diagnostic and management difficulties. A methodological approach with flexible bronchoscopy and a guide wire cannulation technique was used to diagnose, localize, and aid operative surgical management in five children with dual and H-type tracheoesophageal fistulae. All children had successful outcomes.

Acquired aortopulmonary fistula: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAortopulmonary fistula is a rare complication of ascending aorta pathology. Presentation is most commonly dramatic with acute onset chest pain or heart failure secondary to left to right shunting. We describe a patient with acquired aortopulmonary fistula who had an insidious onset of heart failure as his presenting complaint. We also highlight the utility of multimodality cardiac imaging in establishing the diagnosis.Case summaryA 79-year-old male patient with a history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery and mechanical aortic valve replacement, 23 years prior, presented with exertional dyspnoea of 7 months duration. An initial workup that included transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography as well as coronary and bypass graft angiography failed to diagnose an acquired aortopulmonary fistula complicating an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm. Upon referral to our institution, the correct diagnosis was suspected on off-axis transthoracic echocardiography. The fistula was subsequently confirmed, and the extent of ascending aorta pathology defined via a multimodality imaging approach that consisted of transoesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography. The patient underwent successful surgical repair and was discharged in a stable condition.DiscussionAcquired aortopulmonary fistula is a rare clinical entity. We describe a patient who had an insidious presentation of heart failure and found to have a large ascending aortic aneurysm that eroded into the main pulmonary artery creating a fistulous communication. The diagnosis was delayed and required a high index of suspicion and multimodality cardiac imaging.

A Rare Case of Left Atrial Myxoma Vascularity Causing Acquired Coronary Cameral Fistula: Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography.

Project description:Left atrial myxoma is the common benign tumor of heart. Coronary arteries may supply these tumor. Considering the vascular nature of the tumor, acquired coronary cameral fistula(CCF) can be a possibility postexcision of the left atrial myxoma. Here, we discuss a case of 53-year-old female patient, who developed acquired CCF, following excision of the tumor and the role of transesophageal echocardiography intraoperatively in diagnosis.

Successful Closure of a Benign Refractory Tracheoesophageal Fistula Using an Over-the-Scope Clip after Failed Esophageal Stent Placement and Surgical Management.

Project description:Tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) have traditionally been managed surgically, but the endoscopic approach is widely performed as a less invasive alternative. Different closure techniques have been proposed with inconsistent results. An over-the-scope clip (OTSC) appears to be a reasonable option, but long-term results have not been well defined. We report the long-term outcomes of a complex case of successful closure of a benign refractory TEF using an OTSC after failed surgical management and esophageal stent placement.

Minimally invasive management of combined esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula and duodenal atresia: a comprehensive case report.

Project description:A newborn presented with a rare combination of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) and duodenal atresia (DA), which was successfully managed using minimally invasive surgical techniques. The patient was a 1-day-old male for whom passing a feeding tube was infeasible and who had a double bubble sign on radiography. The neonate underwent a thoracoscopic ligation of the tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and a laparoscopic duodeno-duodenostomy on the same day, resulting in stabilized vital signs. Ten days after the initial operation, a thoracoscopic esophago-esophagostomy was successfully performed. The patient demonstrated full feeding capability and normal weight gain after the surgeries. The co-occurrence of EA/TEF and DA is a rare and complex anomaly. This case indicates that minimally invasive techniques can effectively manage this condition.
