title: [A CASE OF ESOPHAGOGASTRIC FISTULA CURE IN A PATIENT WITH COMPLICATED TUBERCULOSIS OF INTRATHORACIC LYMPH NODES].
abstract: The authors describe a successful case of esophageal fistula being cured in a patient with complicated tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes. They show it possible to medically cure the fistula via temporary esophageal stenting, which in combination with therapeutic bronchoscopies enables prompt fistula healing, without resorting to surgical treatment.
