First use of ventricular septal defect occlusion device for endoscopic closure of an esophagorespiratory fistula using bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy.

A 70-year-old woman presented with a persistent, nonmalignant esophagorespiratory fistula. Since other treatment options failed or were denied, an experimental nonsurgical therapy was performed. A self-expanding ventricular septal defect (VSD) occlusion device (Amplatzer; AGA Medical Corporation; Golden Valley, MN) was bronchoscopically introduced to close the fistula.
