Abstract
Although the formation of fistula between esophagus and adjacent organ is a known complication of the self-expanding esophageal stent, only a few cases of surgically treated bronchoesophageal fistula have been reported. Increasing application of endoscopic stent for benign esophageal strictures increases the chance for this type of delayed complication. We experienced a case of bronchoesophageal fistula caused by esophageal stent for which we performed fistulectomy and Ivor Lewis operation simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the successful surgical treatment of this complication in Korea.
