Core Tip	This case report highlights the successful use of endoscopic vacuum assisted closure (endoVAC) therapy in treating a rare esophagopericardial fistula (EPF) in a 16-year-old male. The innovative approach involved a multidisciplinary strategy, resulting in the resolution of the fistulous tract and significant clinical improvement. Our findings suggest that endoVAC therapy can be an effective minimally invasive alternative for EPF management, offering a promising solution for complex cases where traditional surgical methods may be less feasible. This report emphasizes the need for further research to establish standardized protocols and validate the long-term efficacy of endoVAC therapy.
