Eligibility Criteria

14 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients over 14 years old
  • Benign tracheoesophageal fistulas identified through bronchoscopy;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Malign neoplasia
  • Current mechanical ventilation
  • Immunosuppressed
  • Current local inflammatory process at fistulas borders

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Fistula closure with occluder

Arm Description

Patients with benign tracheoesophageal fistulas will be submitted to the correction with the occluder.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Closure of tracheoesophageal fistulas with the Gore Helex Septal Occluder
The closure will be confirmed by endoscopic or bronchoscopic observation of the fistula at regular intervals: one week, two weeks, and four weeks after implant of the occluder. A thorax CT scan will ascertain correct positioning and stability of the occluder.
