Video Summary
This video summarizes a case of a 42-year-old female with a history of AIDS who has a bronchoesophageal fistula, which is a connection between the bronchial tubes and the esophagus. The patient has had frequent hospitalizations for recurrent aspiration pneumonia and has been previously treated with stents and clips with limited success. A multidisciplinary team decided to use a septal occluder device, typically used to close heart defects, to close the fistula. The device was successfully placed, and post-procedure imaging showed no leakage. This case demonstrates the potential effectiveness of using a septal occluder device for refractory bronchoesophageal fistula. Long-term safety and efficacy still need further evaluation.<br /><br />Credits: No mentioned credits in the video.
