A new endoscopic method for treatment of malignant oesophagobronchial fistulas.
A short malignant oesophagobronchial fistula which could not be sealed using adhesive agents was successfully treated using a new endoscopic technique. The procedure provided good palliation and the results withstood the test of time in the patient. The method, which is described in detail, provides a useful modification to existing methods.
