Περίληψη:
Gastrobronchial fistulae (GBF) following minimally invasive
oesophagectomy (MIO) is a rare entity, with an estimated incidence of
0.3-1.5% according to the published literature. It could present with
persistent cough (Ohno’s sign), chest pain, haemoptysis and recurrent
pneumonia. Barium swallow examination remains the most sensitive
investigation in 78% of the cases; the main stay of management is
surgical and in some cases endoscopic (stent insertion). We report a
rare case of a GBF 1 month after two-stage MIO for cancer of the
gastro-oesophageal junction, which was successfully treated for the
first time with an over-the-scope-clip.
