Abstract

A new method is described for the repair of a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula in an adult. This technique uses a fiberoptic bronchoscope and passes a flexible vascular guidewire across the tracheoesophageal fistula. This maneuver then simplifies the intraoperative identification of the tracheoesophageal fistula, which is exposed and repaired through a left transcervical approach.
