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.engAgedBronchial Fistula* / diagnosisBronchial Fistula* / etiologyEsophageal Fistula* / diagnosisEsophageal Fistula* / etiologyEsophageal Fistula* / therapyEsophageal Neoplasms* / diagnosisEsophageal Neoplasms* / surgeryEsophageal Neoplasms* / therapyEsophageal Stenosis / diagnosisEsophageal Stenosis / etiologyEsophageal Stenosis / surgeryEsophageal Stenosis / therapyLung / diagnostic imagingMaleStentsHSM PNEUjournal article10.1016/j.resmer.2023.101080
