[Tracheoesophageal fistula secondary to endoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices].
Over the past 15 years, endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy (EVS) has become the main therapy for patients with bleeding esophageal varices. EVS has the advantage of a low associated mortality and morbidity, but may lead to serious complications. We report a case of esophagotracheal fistula complicating sclerotherapy that resolved with nonsurgical management.
