Abstract
Malignant oesophago-respiratory fistula is an incurable and distressing condition. Surgery is difficult, unsatisfactory or impossible, and standard oesophageal tubes often fail to occlude the fistula. A new tube is described which relieves dysphagia and occludes the fistula without risk of pressure necrosis. After insertion of the tube, the patients may be treated by radiotherapy.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
