An acquired esophago-respiratory fistula represents an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the respiratory system. It is usually caused by malignancy and infection, or it occurs as a complication after surgery or radiation therapy. It can be divided according to its anatomical level into esophago-tracheal fistula, esophago-bronchial fistula, and in the rarest case, esophago-pulmonary fistula (EPF).

Article Synopsis
- The development of an esophago-bronchial fistula is a rare but serious complication following esophagectomy, leading to high mortality rates.
- A 63-year-old man experienced this complication after surgery for esophageal cancer, facing respiratory failure due to severe reflux and ischemia at the surgical site.
- A novel three-step surgical approach was successfully implemented to address the fistula and restore esophageal function, demonstrating potential for patients unable to undergo traditional surgical interventions.
