A Complication of Tracheaesophageal Fistula Treatment with Glue: Endotracheal Cuff Adhesion
Journal Title: Enliven: Journal of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The repair of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) requires an important surgical process, surgical ligation of the fistula with a cervical or thorasic approach. Surgical treatment is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates of up to 50% [1]. Recovery is hard and painful for the patient. Different endoscopic fistula treatment techniques, such as electrocautery, tissue adhesives, sclerosants, and laser have been reported. Approximately all endoscopic management was performed by bronchoscopy. Some authors reported compensating results with the use of stents or endoscopic gluing [2,3]. We present a case of endotracheal cuff adhesion, after TEF treatment with histoacrylate and glubran applied around the fistula via esophagoscopy.
