- Broncho-Esophageal Fistula: When Surgery and Endoscopy Fail, Consider Physiological Lung ExclusionPublication . Maia, D; Tronchetti, J; D'Journo, X; Dutau, HWe discuss the case of an esophageal cancer patient treated by chemo and radiotherapy complicated by an esophageal stenosis and an iatrogenic broncho-esophageal fistula. This latter was managed with multiple palliative stenting procedures and colonic surgical bypass. Despite a long disease free survival but decreased quality of life and frailty, we came to the proposal of an extremely unusual form of treatment - physiological lung exclusion, with clinical benefit and so far without any drawbacks related to the procedure.
