BACKGROUND: Malignant digestive-respiratory fistula (DRF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In addition to the other recognized advantages of expandable stents, coated expandable stents can seal off DRF.
METHODS: Eight men and five women, mean age 52 yr, with endoscopically and radiographically proven DRF were treated with the coated Wallstent (Schneider). Eleven had dysphagia, 11 postprandial cough, and two required mechanical ventilation. The DRF was proximal in four, mid-esophageal in seven, and distal in two. Two had a normal esophagus and 11 had stricture.
RESULTS: Stent placement and DRF obliteration were successful in all. During a median follow-up of 157 days (range 30-423), no recurrent DRF were noted. The median dysphagia score improved from 3.4 to 1.3. Respiratory symptoms were corrected in all. A gastrostomy tube was required in three. The only complications were transient chest pain and foreign body sensation in three patients and constant sensation of belching in one. There was no procedure-related mortality.
CONCLUSION: In this small group of patients, the coated Wallstent demonstrated excellent palliation of DRF with minimal morbidity and no mortality.
