Abstract

Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistulas (RTEFs) remain a therapeutic challenge because open surgical approaches have been associated with substantial rates of morbidity, mortality, and repeat recurrences. Recently, endoscopic techniques for the repair of RTEF have provided an alternative approach with the potential for improved surgical outcomes. However, previous reports have been limited by small patient numbers and variations in technique. By examining a single institution's experience and performing a systematic review of previously published results, we aimed to identify an optimal approach to managing RTEF endoscopically. Retrospective chart review of patients undergoing endoscopic management of RTEF at a single tertiary care institution was performed. Medline search and summated analysis of previously published cases of endoscopically treated RTEF from 1975 to 2007 was conducted. Four patients with RTEF were identified and selected for endoscopic repair at our institution from 2003 to 2007 (mean age, 11.5 months). Under endoscopic guidance, fistula tracts were de-epithelialized with a Bugbee fulgurating diathermy electrode (5-15 W) and then sealed with fibrin glue (Tisseel with added aprotinin). Closure of RTEF was successf...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
