Esophagopleural fistula treated with muscular ventricular septal defect occluder

To the Editor, Esophageal-pleural fistulas are a rare complication of thoracic surgery. They may occur as the direct result of trauma during surgery or use of a transesophageal device. The management of esophageal-pleural fistulas can be difficult, and they rarely heal spontaneously. Conservative ma...
