Abstract
We report a case of acquired tracheoesophageal fistula, which was confounded by a long segment of necrotic trachea, requiring a desperate attempt at tracheal reconstruction using an aortic homograft. This is followed by a brief review of the literature in support of this useful technique of salvaging long-segment tracheal resection.Entities:
