Silicone Airway Stent for Treating Benign Tracheoesophageal Fistula

We used a silicone tracheal stent successfully to seal a huge benign tracheoesophageal fistula and restore airway patency after treatment with double metallic stenting of the trachea and esophagus failed. The patient was weaned from the ventilator 16 days after the procedure and after 7 months of ventilatory support.
