Abstract
Malignant Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF) is a life-threatening condition and conventional palliative surgical approach sometimes could be very dangerous or not suitable. We describe a case of a post-radiation TEF involving distal trachea and main carina treated by the placement of endotracheal silicon stent.
